Is Visual Prompting All You Need? Studying VLM Spatial Reasoning under Progressive Visual Scaffolds

Lars Benedikt Kaesberg, Tianyu Yang, Florian Valentin Wunderlich +4

Vision-language models (VLMs) have advanced rapidly in multimodal reasoning, yet recent work shows that their failures often reflect an interaction between visual grounding and dow…

Beyond a Single Direction: Chain-of-Thought Disrupts Simple Steering of Refusal

Kia-Jüng Yang, Dominik Meier, Jiachen Zhao +2

Large reasoning models (LRMs) generate chain-of-thought (CoT) traces before producing final outputs, introducing a dynamic internal state that may complicate control mechanisms suc…
