VISTA: A Visual Harness for Reasoning in an Interactive World
Quick summary
arXiv:2610.02200v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We show that multimodal models possess strong reasoning abilities and that an appropriate harness can unlock their potential to solve tasks across diverse interactive environments. We introduce VISTA, a visual harness that gives a general-purpose multimodal model long-horizon vision. VISTA allows the model to directly perceive the environment through visual observations and maintains a lossless visual memory that preserves past observations in their original form. The model can actively retrieve these observations and reorganize its visual input
