LOCI: A Locator-Critic with Refinement Loop

LOC I (Locator‑Critic) is a training‑free framework that separates visual search from evidence verification in Vision‑Language Models. It uses a Locator agent to propose candidate visual evidence and a Critic agent to assess its relevance, engaging in an iterative refinement loop that progressively improves the evidence until it is sufficient to answer a question. The approach yields state‑of‑the‑art results on several complex visual benchmarks, boosting accuracy for both open‑weight models like Qwen3‑VL and proprietary models such as Gemini 2.5 Pro.
