MapReason-OSM supplies 6000 graph-verifiable instances across 12 mobility tasks on rendered OSM maps from 10 U.S. downtowns and shows that seven VLMs succeed at simple routing but perform near chance on cost-based facility placement and cross-zoom consistency.

A new diagnostic benchmark decomposes LLM spatial navigation into three cognitive scales and shows that cross-scale aggregation, not single-level deficits, causes failure beyond small mazes.
PERIA augments VLMs with vision perception and interaction tools trained via supervised trajectories and OR-GIGPO to deliver 10% and 4.4% gains on in- and out-of-distribution spatial reasoning benchmarks.
TransitLM is a large-scale dataset and benchmark for training LLMs to generate structurally valid map-free transit routes from origin-destination pairs.
Post-Reasoning boosts LLM accuracy by reversing the usual answer-after-reasoning order, delivering mean relative gains of 17.37% across 117 model-benchmark pairs with zero extra cost.
VLMs fail at exact visual path following primarily at self-intersections, where performance drops sharply after the first crossing on a controlled polyline benchmark.
MapTab introduces a 328-map, 196,800-query benchmark showing that current multimodal LLMs fall far short on multi-criteria route planning from maps-plus-tables.
RLVR on synthetic mazes enables VLMs to solve spatial reasoning tasks unreachable by the base model and generalizes to real-world navigation benchmarks.
A survey organizing techniques to achieve efficient reasoning in LLMs by shortening chain-of-thought outputs.
