GeoVista introduces a planning-driven active perception framework with global exploration plans, branch-wise local inspection, and explicit evidence tracking to achieve state-of-the-art results on ultra-high-resolution remote sensing benchmarks.
SearchEyes unifies multimodal search-agent training via Perception-Knowledge Chains on Wikidata5M and Hop-Anchored Policy Optimization, claiming a 6.2-point average gain over the strongest open-source baseline on six benchmarks.
ProMSA is a progressive multimodal search agent for KB-VQA that iteratively selects search tools under budgets, trained via rejection-sampling SFT then TN-GSPO RL, reporting gains on E-VQA and InfoSeek over RAG baselines.
IterCAD is a multimodal agent framework using progressive SFT and geometry-aware RL for CAD tasks, with a new data pipeline, IterCAD-Bench, and CD-TR metric showing outperformance in executability and precision.
TAPO corrects credit misassignment in RL for multimodal search agents by using tool parameter similarity to share advantages across equivalent actions.
AXPO addresses the Thinking-Acting Gap in agentic RL training by targeted resampling of tool calls in all-wrong subgroups, delivering +1.8pp gains over GRPO on nine multimodal benchmarks with an 8B model beating a 32B baseline on Pass@4.
InterSketch improves long-horizon visual-textual chain-of-thought in VLMs by dynamically generating and interleaving self-correcting visual sketches with text, using a synthesized dataset plus reflection in cold-start followed by stepwise-reward RL, and reports outperforming Gemini-3-Pro on benchmar
Vision-OPD transfers an MLLM's privileged regional perception to its full-image policy through on-policy token-level self-distillation, yielding competitive results on fine-grained visual benchmarks.
An 8B multimodal search model trained with Agentic Seeding and V-Fold visual-history compression reaches state-of-the-art scores on six web-search VQA benchmarks.
MapTab introduces a 328-map, 196,800-query benchmark showing that current multimodal LLMs fall far short on multi-criteria route planning from maps-plus-tables.
V-Zero trains MLLMs for visual reasoning without answer labels by gating on-policy distillation trajectories using contrastive evidence from relevant versus negative image crops.
HDPO reframes tool efficiency as a conditional objective within accurate trajectories, enabling Metis to reduce tool invocations by orders of magnitude while raising reasoning accuracy.
SimpleSearch-VL improves Qwen3-VL multimodal agent baselines by 15.8-16 points on average using 7K total training examples and reaches parity with Gemini-3-Pro on the 30B variant.
