  - What happened: Hi HN, I&#x27;m Smyan and I enjoy building agents.
  - Why it matters: This therefore enables Set-Of-Marks prompting for in principal ANY user interface.<p>I ran an ablation benchmark using the framework with GPT-5.5 (high) and was able to.
  - What to do: Track for corroboration and benchmark data before adopting.

  - Why this made the cut: Signal 8.4, Confidence 7.5, and Impact 2.4 combined to rank this in the top set.
  - Deep:
    - Context: This naturally creates a massive problem when we try to take our RPA frameworks and give them to agents to perform computer use tasks.<p>For browsers, we have been able to solve this by using the DOM tree to supply the LLM with structural hints and now more...
    - What's new: Functionally, this means the LLM now needs to simply say &quot;click 4&quot; instead of having to say &quot;click 443 213&quot;.<p>This methodology however fails horribly when we try to apply it to native OS automation.
    - Key quotes/snippets:
    - "Hi HN, I&#x27;m Smyan and I enjoy building agents."
    - "Modern multimodal LLMs are great at vision and perception but are quite poor at localization."

    - What was however surprising was that the model performed slightly better with knowing just the location of the bounding boxes (without actually seeing them).

- ### [HoloMotion-1 Technical Report](https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.15336)
  - Summary: arXiv:2605.15336v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In this report, we present HoloMotion-1, a humanoid motion foundation model for zero-shot whole-body motion tracking.
  - What happened: Learning from such heterogeneous data introduces new challenges, including reconstruction noise, source-domain mismatch, uneven motion quality, and the need for temporal.
  - Why it matters: To address these challenges, HoloMotion-1 integrates large-capacity temporal modeling, a sparsely activated Mixture-of-Experts Transformer with KV-cache inference for.
  - What to do: Validate with one small internal benchmark and compare against your current baseline this week.
  - Score: **Overall 6.2/10 | Signal 9.4 | Novelty 4.0 | Impact 2.0 | Confidence 8.7 | Actionability 6.5**
  - Evidence badges: [Paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.15336), Demo, Benchmarks

    - "arXiv:2605.15336v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In this report, we present HoloMotion-1, a humanoid motion foundation model for zero-shot whole-body motion tracking."
    - "A key innovation of HoloMotion-1 is to scale control-policy training with a large-scale hybrid motion corpus, where video-reconstructed motions from in-the-wild videos provide the dominant."
    - Limitations / unknowns:
    - Generalization outside curated tasks is still unclear.
