Vision-language models (VLMs) have shown strong capabilities in generating visualization code from textual or visual specifications. However, real-world visualization authoring is inherently iterative: users frequently revise existing visualizations to repair flawed charts or adapt them to desired styles.
arXiv:2606. 10334v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Code-generating large language models (LLMs) increasingly produce visual artifacts such as charts, web pages, and slides by writing programs that are executed by non-differentiable renderers, committing to code before observing the render.

Vision‑language models (VLMs) can lose accuracy when images are resized, even with minimal changes. The study shows that such small visual configuration changes—like tiling or token arrangement—cause more correctness flips across multiple checkpoints and benchmarks. Interestingly, in many cases the models still read the correct answer but fail to use it, and attention interventions reveal that configuration shifts weaken the use of readable information. By guiding models with field cues and their own transcriptions, the authors correct 97.2% of these errors.

arXiv:2606. 30296v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-round reflection lets agents built on large language models recover from failures within a single task, but each task remains an isolated episode: lessons learned across many reflection rounds on one task are discarded before the next begins.
