Visual Information-Guided Parallel Decoding for Diffusion Multimodal Large Language Models introduces the VIG‑Sampler, a method that prioritizes tokens for decoding based on their attention to image tokens and penalizes redundancy in image‑attention distributions. The approach aims to improve the quality of multimodal generation by selecting more informative tokens during diffusion decoding. Experiments on seven captioning and VQA benchmarks with three open‑source dMLLMs show that VIG‑Sampler outperforms the Info‑Gain Sampler by an average of 19.3 CIDEr points and achieves better COCO Caption results using only half as many decoding steps.

ARGenSeg introduces an autoregressive generation-based approach for image segmentation that integrates seamlessly with multimodal large language models (MLLMs). Unlike prior methods that use boundary points or dedicated segmentation heads, ARGenSeg generates dense masks directly through visual token output and detokenization via a universal VQ‑VAE, enabling fine‑grained pixel‑level perception. The framework employs a next‑scale‑prediction strategy to parallelize token generation, resulting in faster inference while outperforming state‑of‑the‑art segmentation models on multiple datasets.
