Rethinking Latent Visual Reasoning: Grounding Latent Reasoning in Visual Evidence

Latent visual reasoning (LVR) enables multimodal large language models (MLLMs) to perform intermediate computation in continuous latent tokens rather than expressing every reasoning step in words. However, unlike textual CoT, latent reasoning is not directly observable, making it difficult to supervise what latent toke...

FORGE: Form-Optimal Routing of Grounded Evidence for Frozen LLM Agents

In agentic AI systems, frozen foundation models are increasingly deployed as closed-weight API endpoints, making downstream adaptation possible only through the inputs and inference procedures surrounding the model. As a result, for each input query, two coupled decisions largely determine both answer quality and token...
