š„ What happened
MIT and Google DeepMind researchers dropped VISTA, a visual harness that gives multimodal models lossless visual memory and active retrieval. On ARC-AGI-3, it pushed Claude Opus 5.0 from a 40.68 to a perfect 100.00 Relative Human Action Efficiency score.
š” Why it matters
The model cleared all 25 public games using 57.4% fewer actions than first-time human players. No retraining, just a smarter interface ā the reasoning was already in the weights, it just needed the right glasses.
ā” Our take
If you're still training models in 2026 instead of building harnesses, you're burning cash. VISTA proves the real product is the environment, not the network.
