What Happens Before Decoding? Prefill Determines GUI Grounding in VLMs

Existing training-free approaches for GUI grounding often rely on multiple inference runs, but each forward pass still independently interprets the instruction and visual layout. This paper reveals a two-stage paradigm: the prefill stage determines candidate UI elements, while decoding refines coordinates. Errors in prefill are uncorrectable during decoding. The authors propose Re-Prefill, a training-free method that introduces an attention-guided second prefill stage to refine target selection. Experiments across four VLMs and five benchmarks show consistent improvements, with gains of up to 4.3% on ScreenSpot-Pro.
