Researchers led by何恺明 (Kaiming He) have introduced VISTA, a novel visual harness designed to enhance multimodal models' ability to reason within interactive environments. VISTA allows models to retain and revisit raw visual information, enabling them to inspect details, zoom in on specific areas, and compare past observations with current states without requiring retraining. This approach significantly improves performance on complex tasks, with models like Claude Opus 5.0 and GPT-5.6 Sol achieving near-perfect scores on the ARC-AGI-3 benchmark by efficiently utilizing visual experience.
