OmniHarness: Harnessing Generalizable Visual Generation via Symbolic Policy Learning

OmniHarness learns symbolic policies for visual generation agents, reaching a 95.0% resolve rate on ComfyBench Creative tasks, 27.5 points above the strongest baseline.

OmniHarness abstracts verified executions into symbolic policies for visual generation task families, which are instantiated, adapted, and composed for new tasks while model parameters remain fixed. Intermediate verification guides refinement and failure recovery during execution, and self-directed inquiry generates practice tasks near capability limits before downstream objectives are specified. Experiments across six benchmarks, three MLLM backbones, and three visual agent frameworks show strong performance; on ComfyBench Creative tasks it achieves a 95.0% resolve rate, exceeding the strongest baseline by 27.5 percentage points. Frozen policy snapshots improve existing visual agent systems through plug-and-play reuse.

Breaking the Vision-Action Shortcut: Latent Interface Training for Generalizable Robotics Foundation Models

Latent Interface Training improves robot foundation model generalization by constraining visual conditioning, boosting LIBERO-Plus success up to 10.7 points.

The paper identifies vision-action shortcuts where robot policies exploit task-irrelevant visual cues that fail under distribution shift. Latent Interface Training (LIT) first trains an action expert conditioned on language, robot state, and terminal SE(3) end-effector poses without images, then constrains visual input through a pose-supervised latent interface. Across four VLA and world-action architectures (Pi0.5, MolmoAct2, FAST-WAM, ImageWAM), LIT improves LIBERO-Plus success by 3.87-10.70 percentage points. Real-world tests show 13.30-16.70 percentage-point gains under unseen cameras, lighting, and distractors.

Augustinian BabyLM: What Ostensive Definition Can and Cannot Teach a Small Language Model

Study shows visually grounded token embeddings in a small masked LM persist through training and improve object-property knowledge, but escape standard BabyLM benchmarks.

The paper implements ostensive definition for a small DeBERTa masked language model trained on 10M words, seeding visually grounded tokens with embeddings derived from labeled image regions before training. Visual initialization leaves a persistent, seed-replicated advantage on object-property knowledge (COMPS) and a corpus-tailored Visual-Property Swap benchmark covering color, material, size, and shape, but has no effect on most BabyLM grammar benchmarks. Synthetic grounding of previously unseeded words causally transfers the advantage to exactly those words.

Reward AI Releases OM-1: A Robot Policy Trained on Human Demonstrations Only, With No Teleoperation or On-Robot Data

Reward AI released OM-1, a general-purpose manipulation policy trained solely on human demonstrations from a sensorized glove, with no teleoperation or robot data.

Reward AI announced OM-1 (Omnibody Model 1), a general-purpose robot manipulation policy trained only on human demonstrations captured via Omnibody Hand, a 7-DoF wearable glove with tactile, proximity, and in-hand camera sensing. The system uses electromagnetic hand-pose tracking, cutting mean overshoot error to 9.5 mm versus 24.9 mm for visual-inertial at 67 cm/s (a 60% reduction), and reportedly learns brand-new tasks from under 30 minutes of human data. A separate RL-trained control layer runs on its own clock so policy inference latency never stalls motion, and the policy spans industrial arms, legged humanoids, and wheeled mobile manipulators. No weights, code, dataset, API, paper, or benchmark comparisons have been released, so claims are demonstration-backed only.

Affora: A Design System for Agent-Friendly Interfaces

Affora is a design system making interfaces legible to computer-use agents while preserving human workflows, with reusable components and executable checks.

Affora supports both human users and computer-use agents through a shared interface rather than a separate agent-only surface. Three controlled studies cover component implementations, visual variation, and interaction-design principles, producing guidance from individual components to complete sites with reusable implementations and executable checks. Evaluation on independently authored interfaces shows gains where agent-readability deficits exist, limited effects where they do not, and a workflow case gives preliminary evidence of reduced interaction cost.

Omni-Streaming Thinking

Omni-Streaming Thinking fixes premature cross-modal commitment in streaming omni-modal models via pending claims verified against modality-specific evidence, beating baselines by over 10%.

The paper identifies 'premature cross-modal commitment', where streaming models keep relaying early visual interpretations even after audio contradicts them. OST generates evidence-linked pending claims with future verification intervals, stores audio and visual evidence separately, and refutes claims when contradictory evidence appears. Built on a frozen Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B-Instruct backbone with lightweight adaptation, it outperforms open baselines by more than 10% relative on five streaming and audio-visual benchmarks. On the new OST-DiagBench it reaches d-prime 2.95 versus at most 1.38 for open baselines, while reducing vision-induced auditory hallucinations.

Modality-Autoregressive World-Action Models

ModAR autoregressively denoises multiple future modalities (point tracks, DINO features, depth) before predicting actions, beating prior world-action models at all data scales.

ModAR is the first world-action model (WAM) to autoregressively denoise multiple future modalities before predicting actions, letting each prediction condition on previously generated modalities. Training from scratch shows WAMs benefit from predicting point tracks, DINO features, and depth maps, while future RGB adds no consistent benefit. ModAR's sequential generation outperforms existing WAM formulations with the highest average success rate at all evaluated data scales. It slightly beats video-model-initialized Flex-π (75% vs 72% success) using roughly 20x fewer training FLOPs and no pretraining, and wins on three real-world bimanual tasks.

BVB: Benchmarking Agentic Video Understanding via Programmatic Reconstruction in Blender

Blender-VideoBench evaluates agentic video understanding by having agents programmatically reconstruct real videos in Blender scenes.

BVB (Blender-VideoBench) tests whether multimodal agents truly understand videos by requiring programmatic reconstruction of real-world videos as animated Blender scenes via a lightweight Mini-BVB harness under identical sandbox and cost constraints. Evaluation uses Dual VQA for spatiotemporal fact preservation and Latent Similarity for perceptual match, combined in a square-root mean overall score. Across 51 configurations from 10 model families, the best model reaches 88.6 Latent Similarity but retains only 53.7% of source-correct spatiotemporal answers, showing semantic retention remains the main challenge.

Enabling Creative Exploration for Vibe Design Agents

Separating design-direction exploration from code generation via structured specifications broadens UI alternatives without destabilizing output.

The paper proposes an inference architecture for vibe design agents that makes design direction an explicit intermediate decision: a Verbalized Sampling-inspired pre-pass proposes structured design specifications with typicality scores, an external selector samples one, and a downstream generator realizes it under fixed settings. Across 168 prompts with 1,255 paired comparisons per temperature, theme sampling broadens selection coverage and screenshot variation, with LLM-judge preferences varying across interventions and prompt complexity. An online experiment with over 300,000 tasks found the code-export increase statistically uncertain, though negative feedback events decreased alongside modest operational costs.
