This paper develops a framework, SpatialCLI, to help vision-language models (VLMs) better understand and use visual tools to make better decisions. By training VLMs to reason with spatial tools and then internalize those capabilities, SpatialCLI can improve the performance of VLMs in tasks that require visual reasoning.

This paper proposes a new approach to improve vision-language models for visual retrieval, which can handle long visual contexts and large numbers of distractors. Practitioners might care because it can lead to better performance on image and video benchmarks.

This paper evaluates whether vision-language models can act through a physical body and how they can make decisions about what actions to take, without being hindered by issues like balance and motor control. Practitioners in AI and robotics might care because understanding how models interact with their physical bodies can help improve their ability to navigate and interact with the world.
