GeoVista introduces a planning-driven active perception framework with global exploration plans, branch-wise local inspection, and explicit evidence tracking to achieve state-of-the-art results on ultra-high-resolution remote sensing benchmarks.
ProMSA is a progressive multimodal search agent for KB-VQA that iteratively selects search tools under budgets, trained via rejection-sampling SFT then TN-GSPO RL, reporting gains on E-VQA and InfoSeek over RAG baselines.
IterCAD is a multimodal agent framework using progressive SFT and geometry-aware RL for CAD tasks, with a new data pipeline, IterCAD-Bench, and CD-TR metric showing outperformance in executability and precision.
TAPO corrects credit misassignment in RL for multimodal search agents by using tool parameter similarity to share advantages across equivalent actions.
AXPO addresses the Thinking-Acting Gap in agentic RL training by targeted resampling of tool calls in all-wrong subgroups, delivering +1.8pp gains over GRPO on nine multimodal benchmarks with an 8B model beating a 32B baseline on Pass@4.
InterSketch improves long-horizon visual-textual chain-of-thought in VLMs by dynamically generating and interleaving self-correcting visual sketches with text, using a synthesized dataset plus reflection in cold-start followed by stepwise-reward RL, and reports outperforming Gemini-3-Pro on benchmar
Vision-OPD transfers an MLLM's privileged regional perception to its full-image policy through on-policy token-level self-distillation, yielding competitive results on fine-grained visual benchmarks.
POINTS-Seeker-8B is an 8B multimodal model trained from scratch for agentic search that uses seeding and visual-space history folding to outperform prior models on six visual reasoning benchmarks.
MapTab is a new multimodal benchmark with 328 images and nearly 200k queries that shows current MLLMs have substantial difficulty with multi-criteria route planning when visual and tabular information must be combined.
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.
SimpleSearch-VL improves Qwen3-VL multimodal agent baselines by 15.8-16 points on average using 7K total training examples and reaches parity with Gemini-3-Pro on the 30B variant.
