MolmoPoint: Better pointing architecture for vision-language models
MolmoPoint is a new vision-language model architecture that replaces text-based coordinate outputs with a more natural, token-based pointing mechanism that directly selects regions from visual features. This approach improves accuracy, efficiency, and robustness across image, video, and GUI tasks, achieving state-of-the-art performance while using fewer tokens and simpler training.March 11, 2026
MolmoBot: Training robot manipulation entirely in simulation
MolmoBot is an open robotic manipulation model suite trained entirely in simulation—demonstrating zero-shot transfer to real-world robots without any real-world data collection or fine-tuning.March 5, 2026
