Model Guides You How to Draw: Adaptive Visual Gating for Unified Multimodal Reasoning

arXiv:2607.10004v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Unified multimodal models (UMMs) with interleaved reasoning, which generate both textual and visual steps as part of intermediate reasoning traces, have demonstrated great potential for visual mathematical reasoning tasks. However, we identify a key insight in this paradigm: generating intermediate visual reasoning steps is not always beneficial and can even be harmful, as self-generated visual steps may introduce erroneous visual evidence that mis...
