MICo-150K is a new 150K-image dataset with 7 tasks, a De&Re real-image subset, MICo-Bench, and Weighted-Ref-VIEScore metric that improves AI models for generating consistent composites from arbitrary numbers of reference images.
LLaVA-NeXT-Interleave unifies multi-image, video, and 3D capabilities in large multimodal models via a new 1.18M-sample interleaved dataset and benchmark, achieving leading results across those tasks while preserving single-image performance.
MathVerse is a benchmark that tests multi-modal LLMs on visual math by providing each problem in six versions with progressively less diagram and text information to measure true visual understanding.
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.
MathFlow decouples perception and inference stages in MLLMs for visual math, with a dedicated perception model delivering gains on the FlowVerse benchmark when paired with existing reasoners.
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.
NoisyGRPO is an RL framework that perturbs visual inputs with Gaussian noise for exploration and computes trajectory advantages via Bayesian posterior fusion of noise prior and reward likelihood to improve multimodal CoT generalization.
DeepSeek-VL2 is a series of MoE vision-language models using dynamic tiling and latent attention that reach competitive or state-of-the-art results on VQA, OCR, document understanding and grounding with 1.0B to 4.5B activated parameters.
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.
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.
