arXiv:2606. 10334v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Code-generating large language models (LLMs) increasingly produce visual artifacts such as charts, web pages, and slides by writing programs that are executed by non-differentiable renderers, committing to code before observing the render.

Recent advances in multimodal generative models have enabled instruction-based image generation to move beyond semantic manipulation to knowledge-driven visual reasoning. However, these methods focus on explicit commonsense reasoning, shallow causal understanding, and direct knowledge recall, failing at knowledge-intensive generation.
arXiv:2607. 24766v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) can generate individual charts, but coordinated multi-view visualizations (CMVs), where views share data flows and cross-view interactions, remain out of reach.

arXiv:2607. 03748v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Unified multi-modal models (UMMs) have shown promising interleaved text-image reasoning capabilities, yet effectively optimizing such multi-turn generation via reinforcement learning (RL) remains an open challenge.

arXiv:2607. 12815v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting is widely used as a test-time scaling strategy for Vision-Language Models (VLMs), but it remains unclear what is extended when VLMs generate longer reasoning traces.

Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting is widely used as a test-time scaling strategy for Vision-Language Models (VLMs), but it remains unclear what is extended when VLMs generate longer reasoning traces. We ask whether CoT requires continued access to image tokens, or whether it mainly operates over visual information already made available earlier in the forward pass.
