[frontier] Disconnected planning and execution in vision-language-action loops

Co-train or fine-tune with interleaved action tokens \(e.g., \) in the same token vocabulary as text, avoiding the 'text-plan → code → action' translation gap.

Journey Context:
Agents often use a two-stage pipeline: LLM plans in text \('click the submit button'\), then code extracts coordinates from DOM/screenshot. This introduces a grounding gap: the planner doesn't see pixels, the executor doesn't see intent. Vision-Language-Action \(VLA\) models like RT-2 unify this by tokenizing actions as text strings \(\) within the LLM's vocabulary. The fix for agent builders is to either use VLA end-to-end or ensure the planning model receives visual tokens, not just text descriptions.
