Doc-CoB: Enhancing Document Understanding with Visual Chain-of-Boxes Reasoning

Doc‑CoB introduces a Chain‑of‑Boxes framework that enhances document understanding by progressively focusing on query‑relevant layout regions while preserving global context. It selects key layout boxes and then applies visual prompting for deeper analysis, supported by two new reasoning tasks and an automatic pipeline that generates 249k training samples with intermediate visual supervision. Experiments across seven benchmarks and four popular models demonstrate significant performance gains, underscoring the method’s effectiveness and broad applicability.

Cappy: Outperforming and boosting large multi-task language models with a small scorer

Posted by Yun Zhu and Lijuan Liu, Software Engineers, Google Research Large language model (LLM) advancements have led to a new paradigm that unifies various natural language processing (NLP) tasks within an instruction-following framework. This paradigm is exemplified by recent multi-task LLMs, such as T0 , FLAN , and OPT-IML .

Introducing Hy4 Preview

Simon Willison introduces Hy4 Preview, a new large language model from Tencent featuring 770 B total parameters, 49 B active parameters, a 1 M token context window, and 1.56 TB of storage on Hugging Face. The release marks a significant increase over Hy3, which had 295 B total parameters, 21 B active parameters, a 256 k token context window, and 598 GB of storage. Willison also shares the model’s chat template, highlighting two reasoning effort levels—‘high’ (default) and ‘no_think’—and demonstrates a sample prompt that showcases the model’s reasoning trace. whyItMatters":"The article provides concrete details on Hy4’s scale and configuration, illustrating Tencent’s advancement in large‑language‑model capabilities and offering practical insights into its usage through the chat template and reasoning settings."
