MV-STRIDE is a Multi‑View hierarchical Spatial Reasoning dataset that models dependencies among perception, scene understanding, and contextual reasoning to support 3D spatial cognition. It introduces a QA generation pipeline that enforces cross‑view constraints, producing multi‑level reasoning tasks with chain‑of‑thought supervision. Experiments show that training on MV‑STRIDE yields state‑of‑the‑art performance on multi‑view spatial benchmarks, enabling MLLMs to reason robustly across diverse viewpoints.

The paper introduces 3D-Prog, a framework that adapts powerful 2D vision‑language models (VLMs) for reliable 3D understanding, manipulation, and generation. It does so by employing Canonical Coordinate Framing (CCF) to anchor inputs and outputs in a shared Euclidean coordinate system, resolving axis ambiguity, metric scale, and reference issues, and Task‑Adaptive Feedback (TAF) to close the reasoning loop with dynamic, task‑specific feedback. Together, CCF and TAF enable 2D VLMs to perform open‑vocabulary 3D tasks without retraining, yielding consistent, interpretable, and high‑quality results across diverse 3D scenarios.

The paper introduces EvidenceConnect, a data‑synthesis framework that generates training examples by zooming into related image regions to create questions requiring comparison, aggregation, or chaining of visual evidence. By retaining only reference answers agreed upon by independent vision‑language models and discarding questions that survive region ablation, the authors train base VLMs with RLVR to produce Zooming without Zooming v2 (ZwZ2). Although the synthesized data are not benchmark‑specific, ZwZ2 shows improvements across fine‑grained and spatial perception, embodied spatial reasoning, multimodal long‑context understanding, multimodal agent tasks, and general visual reasoning, demonstrating that strengthening the shared capability of connecting evidence yields more generalizable multimodal perception.

Current VLM evaluations often conflate language priors with genuine spatial reasoning. To address this, we introduce CRISP, a novel structural-diagnostic evaluation paradigm that assesses visual spatial intelligence through consistency, the alignment between implicit perception and explicit reasoning.
