A new study reveals the blind judge
Why your AI model's self-review is structurally blind to visual defects
New research from Pine AI and the University of Washington introduces 'grounding' as the key variable governing a third axis of test-time compute: interaction scaling. The findings show that a deterministic instrument measuring actual layout outperforms VLM-on-screenshot evaluation, fixing 40-74% of defects on visual modalities while the standard metric sees nothing.
