Show-Harness: Just a VLM Agent Can Play Robots

The interesting part is not that VLMs can talk about robots, it's that a deterministic semantic layer lets them make fine-grained physical decisions without task-specific training. If you're building robot stacks, this bridges the gap between off-the-shelf VLMs and real embodiment. The zero-shot capability on frontier models plus cheap fine-tuning on small models gives you options for both research and production.
