DataComp-VLM benchmark shows instruction-heavy data mixtures outperform caption-heavy ones for VLM training, with DCVLM-Baseline reaching 63.6% on 33 tasks using 200B tokens, +5.4pp over FineVision.
The paper introduces a three-source decomposition showing that answer flips in multi-agent LLM debate include 37% spontaneous instability and 29% harmful conformity, with even vacuous reasoning persuading 20-39% of resistant agents and interventions reducing harmful conformity by 13.6 points.
Four axioms (Causality, Minimality, Separability, Stability) are formalized for latent thought representations; audits of open LLMs on 23 tasks show none satisfy all four and representations add little beyond input embeddings.
InternVL3-78B sets a new open-source SOTA of 72.2 on MMMU via native joint multimodal pre-training, V2PE, MPO, and test-time scaling while remaining competitive with proprietary models.
VPiT enables pretrained LLMs to perform both visual understanding and generation by predicting discrete text tokens and continuous visual tokens, with understanding data proving more effective than generation-specific data.
InternVL 2.5 is the first open-source MLLM to surpass 70% on the MMMU benchmark via model, data, and test-time scaling, with a 3.7-point gain from chain-of-thought reasoning.
Mixed Preference Optimization with the MMPR dataset boosts multimodal CoT reasoning, lifting InternVL2-8B to 67.0 accuracy on MathVista (+8.7 points) and matching the 76B model.
CogVLM2 family achieves state-of-the-art results on image and video understanding benchmarks through improved visual expert architecture, higher resolution inputs, and automated temporal grounding for videos.
LLaVA-OneVision is the first single open LMM to simultaneously achieve strong performance in single-image, multi-image, and video scenarios with cross-scenario transfer capabilities.
Vision-EKIPL injects high-quality actions from external models into RL training to expand exploration and raise the reasoning ceiling of MLLMs, reporting up to 5% gains on the Reason-RFT-CoT benchmark.
Gemma 3 introduces multimodal open models with architectural changes for efficient long context, trained via distillation and a new post-training recipe that makes the 4B version competitive with prior 27B models and the 27B version comparable to Gemini-1.5-Pro.
