The study investigates how text-to-image models interpret number words beyond ten objects. By keeping the object type and initial noise constant, researchers varied the requested count and observed that models reliably follow the number only up to about ten items; beyond that, the count influence weakens and the image composition is largely governed by the coarse noise. Models such as SD3.5‑Medium and FLUX.1‑dev lose adherence after ten, while FLUX.2 and Qwen‑Image loosely track counts up to twenty‑five, yet no clear directional effect is achieved beyond the models’ limits.

The paper critiques current memorization audits for generative models, arguing that lacking a proper null distribution leads to misleading conclusions. It introduces two exact null tests—one permutation test for whole models and a calibrated test for single images—showing that many previously flagged memorizations disappear under these stricter controls. The authors also propose a scale‑restricted statistic based on the Intersection Euler Characteristic Profile to better detect distinct copied images.

arXiv:2606. 31495v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study a single idea across two settings: that a prediction-error signal, computed by a small predictor over the latent space of a frozen encoder, can serve both as a gate on plasticity and as a substrate for metacognition.

The paper investigates how answer candidates in masked diffusion multimodal large language models (MLLMs) can stabilize before their rationales are fully generated. It distinguishes between retrospective stabilization of the logged candidate and token commitment, and evaluates these two temporal markers across three visual question‑answering benchmarks. The study finds that a large portion of the rationale canvas remains unwritten at stabilization, that reducing block length dramatically lowers this fraction, and that direct prompting instructions can significantly alter accuracy depending on the model and dataset. The authors also use matched‑canvas image ablations to separate visual sensitivity from answer stabilization, concluding that coverage rather than conditional accuracy drives most prompting differences.
