arXiv:2606. 03569v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities but suffer from significant computational overhead during inference.
By Jiahui Wang, Kai Zhang, Mai Han, Huanghe Zhang
We find that vision-language models are sensitive to a specific semantically irrelevant change: the order in which the image and question are presented. Across three models and three benchmarks, image first prompting consistently outperforms question-first prompting, revealing a repeatable modality order failure.
arXiv:2607. 24017v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The empirical success of attention mechanism in Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) often obscures its inherent, subtle flaws.

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities but suffer from significant computational overhead during inference. While visual token pruning offers a promising solution, existing methods predominantly rely on initial attention scores.
