The paper investigates how Vision Language Models (VLMs) can be fooled by small, human‑imperceptible changes to images. It introduces a gradient‑based attack that targets only the vision encoder, reducing computational cost while still effectively disrupting both untargeted and targeted multimodal alignment. Experiments on open‑source VLMs such as Qwen2.5‑VL, Granite‑Vision, FastVLM, and Phi‑3.5‑Vision demonstrate that these perturbations can significantly alter the models’ textual outputs.

Vision Transformers (ViTs) increasingly rely on input-adaptive inference, such as token pruning and early halting, to meet energy and latency budgets. This survey examines a recent class of adversarial efficiency degradation attacks that target these mechanisms to increase computation without necessarily degrading accuracy.
