ATP‑Bench proposes a new benchmark for evaluating agentic tool planning in multimodal large language models (MLLMs) that generate interleaved text-and-image responses. The benchmark contains 7,702 QA pairs, including 1,592 visual‑question‑answer pairs, across eight categories and 25 visual‑critical intents, all verified by humans. A Multi‑Agent MLLM‑as‑a‑Judge (MAM) system is introduced to assess tool‑call precision, missed opportunities, and overall response quality without relying on ground‑truth references.
arXiv:2605. 29861v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have advanced autonomous agents from deep search, which retrieves concise factual answers, to deep research, which synthesizes scattered evidence into long-form reports.
arXiv:2608. 09666v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advances in visual generative models have enabled high-quality image and video generation, but evaluating these models often demands sampling hundreds or thousands of images or videos, which is computationally expensive.
arXiv:2606. 01803v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The explosive growth of Text-to-Image (T2I) models, from large-scale versions to lightweight, real-time ones, now faces diminishing marginal returns from single-model scaling.
arXiv:2607. 11818v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce MM-ToolSandBox, a benchmark and evaluation framework for visually grounded tool-calling agents.
arXiv:2606. 03005v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Despite rapid progress, multimodal large language models (MLLMs) still fail on tasks that humans solve effortlessly, such as navigating a grid maze from a screenshot or selecting the correct puzzle piece.
arXiv:2606. 02357v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Tool-augmented multimodal agents show strong benchmark gains, often taken as evidence that agents have learned to use tools.
arXiv:2604. 09508v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Visual Retrieval-Augmented Generation (VRAG) empowers Vision-Language Models to retrieve and reason over visually rich documents.
arXiv:2607. 08497v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent unified multimodal models show a single architecture can jointly perform vision/language understanding and image generation/editing.
arXiv:2607. 01813v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Evaluation benchmarks are essential for assessing vision-language models (VLMs), but most multimodal benchmarks are static, making them vulnerable to temporal staleness, data contamination, and costly maintenance.
Recent image generators have demonstrated impressive photorealism and instruction-following capabilities in single-image generation and editing. However, constrained by their architectures, they cannot achieve interleaved generation (text-image sequence), which has crucial applications in visual narratives, guidance, and embodied manipulation.
arXiv:2608. 12290v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern black-box Image-to-Video (I2V) models offer powerful capabilities in automated content creation, yet their lack of fine-grained control and reliability presents significant challenges in professional workflows.
arXiv:2512. 11995v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: While many vision-language models (VLMs) are developed to answer well-defined, straightforward questions with highly specified targets, as in most benchmarks, they often struggle in practice with complex open-ended tasks, which usually require multiple rounds of exploration and reasoning in the visual space.
