arXiv:2607. 16409v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Unified Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) offer a promising paradigm for unifying visual understanding and generation, yet they still struggle to follow complex spatial instructions and logical constraints in controllable image generation.

arXiv:2604. 05182v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We introduce the Large Sparse Reconstruction Model to study how scaling transformer context windows affects feed-forward 3D reconstruction.

arXiv:2509. 07295v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Unified multimodal models (UMMs) unify visual understanding and generation within a single architecture.
By Ji Xie, Trevor Darrell, Luke Zettlemoyer, XuDong Wang
Modern computer vision pipelines remain fragmented, with tasks such as text-to-image generation, editing, restoration, and classical perception handled by separate models. We study Unified Visual Generation (UVG), where a single model produces diverse image-valued outputs through a unified multimodal interface.
arXiv:2605. 10873v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recovering editable CAD programs from images or 3D observations is central to AI-assisted design, but progress is difficult to measure because existing evaluations are fragmented across datasets, modalities, and metrics.

arXiv:2608. 11907v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As Large Vision-Language Models increasingly aim to integrate visual generation and understanding within a single parameter space, evaluating such structural unification in a cohesive manner remains a critical challenge.

arXiv:2608. 08676v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Semantic vision encoders have become a central visual interface for multimodal understanding and semantic conditioning in image generation.

arXiv:2511. 16624v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We present SAM 3D, a generative model for visually grounded 3D object reconstruction, predicting geometry, texture, and layout from a single image.

arXiv:2608. 04726v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal large language models increasingly reason over screenshots and documents where the task itself may be written in pixels.

arXiv:2606. 10620v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Image generation models now produce high-quality static images, yet their ability to represent how a visual world changes over time remains poorly understood.
By Xinrui Wu, Lichen Huang
arXiv:2607. 26769v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal large language models increasingly use sketches, annotations, tools, and intermediate images during reasoning, but it remains unclear whether they truly rely on these visual states.
