Proposes an equation-anchored tool-use method for MLLMs that writes the pinhole back-projection equation in Chain-of-Thought and substitutes retrieved camera intrinsics and depths to achieve robustness in 3D object detection and visual grounding under rescaled intrinsics.
DR-MV3D decomposes MV3D-VQA into global map construction, question-conditioned view planning, and egocentric grounding, supervised by global consistency and local trajectory rewards optimized via GRPO.
S-Agent augments VLMs with spatial tools, scene and agent memory for evidence accumulation on multi-view and video tasks, and produces an 8B model via SFT on its own trajectories that beats same-scale baselines.
A self-evolving training loop that generates its own spatial QA data with executable code and difficulty feedback lifts Qwen3-VL-4B/8B to 62.7/63.3 on VSI-Bench using an order of magnitude less data.
Reasmory turns 3D reconstruction into validated program-executable memory for VLMs, yielding 6-18% gains on spatial reasoning benchmarks over direct baselines.
OmniView-Space framework with MPSM, tool-guided reasoning, and distillation achieves SOTA on spatial reasoning benchmarks for MLLMs while reducing external geometry dependencies.
SpaCE derives four theoretical results on spatial capacity, sample complexity, generalization, and bias-variance trade-offs for multi-frame MLLM reasoning, validated on MultiSPA, CA-VQA, and SpatialRGPT.
AlloSpatial adds structured allocentric priors and a harness for tool-use and arbitration to improve spatial reasoning in foundation models, with 5-18% gains on VSI-Bench and MindCube in training-free settings and further gains after RL internalization.
Integrating generative novel-view synthesis into LMM reasoning loops improves accuracy on spatial subtasks by 1.3 to 3.9 percentage points across multiple models and tasks.
HDPO reframes tool efficiency as a conditional objective within accurate trajectories, enabling Metis to reduce tool invocations by orders of magnitude while raising reasoning accuracy.
