## Description

What if a model could learn software the way humans do, through pixels, mouse, and keyboard alone? This talk introduces the Vision Action Model, a foundation model that understands UI concepts, not coordinates, and executes them deterministically. Purpose-built for software testing. Trained purely on interaction data.
