The paper identifies a new inference-time issue called FGVR Laziness in Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs), where visual cues are insufficiently linked to category concepts during fine‑grained visual recognition. To address this, the authors propose LIVE, a training‑free framework that refines candidate lists and applies category‑specific guidance based on recognition uncertainty, thereby enhancing MLLM performance across 13 benchmarks and 24 state‑of‑the‑art methods. LIVE demonstrates improved effectiveness and generalizability across various MLLM backbones without requiring additional training.

Hidden‑Shot introduces an implicit prompt mechanism that extracts task‑specific visual information and merges it with in‑task processing to boost one‑shot performance on new low‑level vision tasks. The method injects this prompt cost‑effectively while minimally altering the base generalist model’s architecture. A data‑driven evaluation framework, C/U assessment, is proposed to systematically test generalization across conventional and unconventional tasks, and experiments on seven and ten datasets show Hidden‑Shot outperforming state‑of‑the‑art models.
