Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) have achieved remarkable progress in multimodal understanding, yet their enormous parameter scale and cross-modal computation incur substantial memory and latency overhead, severely limiting real-world deployment on resource-constrained devices. Binarization offers an attractive solution by drastically reducing storage and computational costs.
