Recursive Self-Improvement in Unified Multimodal Models
Huijuan Wang, Chufan Shi, Cheng Yang +3
Unified multimodal models (UMMs) understand and generate both text and images, which lets a model produce its own training data. Existing self-improvement in UMMs keeps supervision…
InfoEdit: Probing Global Layout Reasoning in Infographic Editing
Cheng Yang, Chufan Shi, Huijuan Wang +6
Multimodal foundation models edit natural photographs at production quality, yet the same models struggle with structured visual content such as infographics. Unlike photographs, i…
MUSE: A Unified Agentic Harness for MLLMs
Jianglin Lu, Hailing Wang, Xu Ma +4
Despite rapid progress, multimodal large language models (MLLMs) still fail on tasks that humans solve effortlessly, such as navigating a grid maze from a screenshot or selecting t…
Are VLMs Seeing or Just Saying? Uncovering the Illusion of Visual Re-examination
Chufan Shi, Cheng Yang, Yaokang Wu +4
Vision-Language Models (VLMs) often produce self-reflective statements like "let me check the figure again" during reasoning. Do such statements trigger genuine visual re-examinati…
GQA-μP: The maximal parameterization update for grouped query attention
Kyle R. Chickering, Huijuan Wang, Mengxi Wu +7
Hyperparameter transfer across model architectures dramatically reduces the amount of compute necessary for tuning large language models (LLMs). The maximal update parameterization…
K2-V2: A 360-Open, Reasoning-Enhanced LLM
K2 Team, Zhengzhong Liu, Liping Tang +36
We introduce K2-V2, a 360-open LLM built from scratch as a superior base for reasoning adaptation, in addition to functions such as conversation and knowledge retrieval from genera…
K2-Think: A Parameter-Efficient Reasoning System
Zhoujun Cheng, Richard Fan, Shibo Hao +28
K2-Think is a reasoning system that achieves state-of-the-art performance with a 32B parameter model, matching or surpassing much larger models like GPT-OSS 120B and DeepSeek v3.1.…
