From Symbolic to Geometric: Enabling Spatial Reasoning in Large Language Models

Recent large language models (LLMs) often appear to exhibit spatial reasoning ability; however, this capability is largely \emph{symbolic}, arising from pattern matching over spatial language rather than true \emph{geometric} reasoning over space. Because LLMs operate on discrete tokens, they lack native support for continuous spatial representations, explicit geometric computation, and structured spatial operators.

Object-Uni: A Unified Model for Object-Centric Spatial Understanding and Controllable Generation

Object-Uni is a unified model that integrates pose perception, spatial reasoning, pose-conditioned generation, and novel view synthesis for object-centric spatial understanding and controllable image generation. It treats object pose as an explicit geometric variable shared across tasks and introduces a viewpoint-based orientation abstraction to make pose interpretable by multimodal large language models. The authors also create a new benchmark, UniSpatial-80K, and demonstrate that Object‑Uni improves both pose understanding and pose‑controllable generation compared to existing models.
