Microsoft releases Mage-VL, a codec-native streaming multimodal model

Microsoft has released Mage-VL, an efficient 4B-parameter multimodal foundation model for image and video understanding that uses a codec-native approach to streamline visual processing. The system separates video streams into anchor (I) frames and predicted (P) frames, retaining only patches where the codec allocates bits to reduce visual token consumption by over 75%.

Test-time scaling improves small VLMs by fixing prompt parseability and increasing token budget

The study examines whether test-time scaling (TTS) transfers to small open vision-language models using the EXAMS-V multilingual visual multiple-choice benchmark. It compares self-consistency, describe-then-reason with PRM-guided beam search, and post-hoc selectors across Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct and Qwen3.5-4B.

Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct and other VLMs overestimate common ground in dialogue

A study investigates whether vision-language models (VLMs) can distinguish between what could be shared and what has been established as shared understanding during collaborative dialogue. The researchers formulated an interpretation-matching task using 13,077 annotated reference expressions from HCRC MapTask dialogues to evaluate model behavior under controlled conditions.
