arXiv:2509. 12046v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Although autoregressive (AR) models have demonstrated remarkable success in image generation, extending these models to layout-conditioned generation remains challenging due to the sparse nature of layout conditions and the risk of feature entanglement.

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.
