UI grounding

Can Claude Opus 5 locate actionable elements?

Twenty-four targets span six deterministic desktop and mobile screens. A schema-valid point inside the requested target counts as a hit; box IoU measures localization precision.

Detection results

Presence and visible layout defects

Separate balanced tasks measure whether the model rejects absent elements and distinguishes clean controls from screenshots containing one seeded layout defect.

Can the model tell when an element is not there?

Six present and six absent target queries per model. This track measures classification only.

Why this research matters

Using the right kind of vision for each test

Top vision LLMs can reason about complex visual meaning, but they are still too slow and expensive for every test step. This research helps us identify where their semantic capabilities justify that trade-off.

01

Fast local evaluation

Repeato’s own local vision algorithms handle frequent interactions, visual matching, and regression checks with fast feedback, predictable behavior, and no per-request model cost.

02

Semantic reasoning when needed

Top vision LLMs are useful for more complicated questions: understanding meaning, checking dynamic content, describing defects, or evaluating concepts that cannot be captured by a simple visual fingerprint.

03

An evidence-based hybrid

Benchmarking accuracy, latency, reliability, and cost helps us decide which checks should remain local and which benefit enough from an LLM to justify a slower, more expensive evaluation.

Our product strategy

Use Repeato’s local computer vision as the fast foundation, then bring in top vision LLMs selectively for complicated or semantic reasoning where they provide meaningful additional value.
