Curating concise data for VLMs induces brevity, delivering 35x lower Cost-of-Pass at near-identical accuracy and higher matched-length accuracy than uncurated baselines.
HYDRA-X presents the first unified multimodal model using a single ViT for holistic image-video tokenization, with ablations on attention and compression plus a latent-level editing improvement.
Zamba2-VL is a family of 1.2B–7B hybrid Mamba2-transformer vision-language models that match leading transformer VLMs on image, reasoning, OCR, grounding and counting benchmarks while delivering roughly 10x lower time-to-first-token.
OProver-32B achieves top Pass@32 scores on MiniF2F, ProverBench, and PutnamBench by combining continued pretraining with iterative agentic proving, retrieval, SFT on repairs, and RL on unresolved cases using a 6.86M-proof dataset.
Data curation alone raises VLM accuracy by more than 11 points on average across many benchmarks while cutting required training compute by up to 87 times.
Meta-CoT uses two-level decomposition of editing operations into meta-tasks and a CoT consistency reward to improve granularity and generalization, reporting 15.8% gains across 21 tasks.
LLaDA-V is a diffusion-based multimodal large language model that reaches competitive or state-of-the-art results on visual instruction tasks while using a non-autoregressive architecture.
Circle-RoPE achieves cross-modal positional disentanglement in VLMs by mapping 2D image tokens to a cone-like annulus orthogonal to the text axis, with PTD=0 eliminating RoPE geometric bias while preserving intra-image structure via alternating geometry encoding.
SmolVLM-256M outperforms a 300-times larger model using under 1 GB GPU memory, while the 2.2B version matches state-of-the-art VLMs at half the memory cost.
Iterative SFT-RL cycles enable a 7B LVLM to develop sophisticated visual chain-of-thought reasoning and improve performance on math and general reasoning benchmarks.
Anthropogenic Regional Adaptation with GG-EZ improves cultural relevance in multimodal vision-language models for Southeast Asia by 5-15% while retaining over 98% of global performance.
SceneBench shows VLMs sharply lose accuracy on scene-level long-video questions, and Scene-RAG only partially mitigates that forgetting (+2.50%).
BAGEL is a unified decoder-only model that develops emerging complex multimodal reasoning abilities after pretraining on large-scale interleaved data and outperforms prior open-source unified models.
Qwen2.5-VL reports a vision-language model family using native dynamic-resolution ViT and absolute time encoding that matches GPT-4o on document and diagram tasks while supporting hour-long videos with second-level localization.
ZAYA1-VL-8B is a new MoE vision-language model with vision-specific LoRA adapters and bidirectional image attention that reports competitive performance against several 3B-4B models on image, reasoning, and counting benchmarks.
R1-Onevision turns images into structured text for multimodal reasoning, trains on a custom dataset with RL, and claims SOTA results on an educational benchmark.
The paper provides the first comprehensive survey of multimodal chain-of-thought reasoning, including foundational concepts, a taxonomy of methodologies, application analyses, challenges, and future directions.
