VISTA-Bench shows vision-language models degrade on visualized text in images compared to equivalent pure text, with larger gaps under increased perceptual difficulty.
Multimodal LLMs process code as images to achieve up to 8x token compression, with visual cues like syntax highlighting aiding tasks and clone detection remaining resilient or even improving under compression.
Continued pre-training with balanced long-document VQA data extends a 7B LVLM to 128K context, improving long-document VQA by 7.1% and generalizing to 512K without further training.
