NVIDIA HORIZON: A Hands-Free Agent that Evolves Git Worktrees and Hits 100% RTL Benchmark Completion

NVIDIA Research introduced HORIZON, a hands-free agent framework for hardware design. It treats hardware design as repository-level code evolution. This research team exercises the register-transfer level (RTL) instantiation. A structured Markdown harness becomes a project pack. A self-contained agent loop then evolves an isolated git worktree. It commits a version only when an executable acceptance

Meet Alibaba’s Page Agent: A JavaScript In-Page GUI Agent That Controls Web Interfaces With Natural Language Through the DOM

Most browser automation runs from the outside. Playwright, Puppeteer, Selenium, and browser-use all drive a browser from an external process. They read the page through screenshots or the Chrome DevTools Protocol. Alibaba’s Page Agent takes the opposite path. The agent lives inside the webpage as plain JavaScript. It reads the live DOM as text and
