  "summary": "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…",
