The study evaluates whether multimodal large language models (MLLMs) can produce open‑ended aesthetic critiques comparable to humans. Eight open‑weight MLLMs (7 B–397 B) and GPT‑5.5 were tested on 1,227 r/photocritique posts under various prompts, revealing that reference‑based similarity metrics often misrepresent model performance, while shorter critiques and image‑omission had limited impact. Human judges and annotators found the models’ critiques largely different from human ones, noting that models tend to be overly comprehensive and repetitive rather than selective and specific.

The paper introduces Chat-Edit-3D++ (CE3D++), an interactive 3D and 4D scene editing system that uses a Hash-Atlas network to separate 2D editing from 3D reconstruction. CE3D++ employs a large language model to accept arbitrary textual input, interpret user intent, and autonomously invoke appropriate visual models, enabling multi‑round dialogue and diverse editing effects. The approach is extended to monocular 4D scenes by adding motion constraints and a trajectory dataset, allowing a smaller LLM to schedule up to 30 visual tools accurately.

UReason is a benchmark that evaluates how well unified multimodal models (UMMs) align textual reasoning with image generation. It contains 2,000 human‑curated instances across five reasoning‑intensive tasks—Code, Arithmetic, Spatial, Attribute, and Text—and compares direct generation, reasoning‑guided generation, and decontextualized generation. The study finds that while reasoning‑guided generation improves over direct generation, decontextualized generation consistently outperforms it, indicating that the visual semantics in textual reasoning are not reliably reflected in the generated images.
