Metis: Memory Foundation Model

256 upvotes · 29 JUL 2026 · Zeyu Zhang, Ziliang Guo, Yihang Sun et al.

This paper introduces a new type of AI model called memory foundation models, which allows the model to learn and retain information internally, rather than relying on external memory modules. This could be useful for practitioners who want to build more efficient and flexible AI agents.

See2Think: Do Multimodal Models Really Use Intermediate Visual States?

23 upvotes · 29 JUL 2026 · Siyu Yan, Zhuoran Yan, Haiying Xu et al.

This paper evaluates how multimodal large language models use intermediate visual states during reasoning and finds that these visual states are not as crucial as previously thought, but can still impact model performance under certain conditions. Practitioners might care because understanding how these models use visual states can help improve their performance and reliability.

MODUS: Decoder-Only Any-to-Any Modeling of Diverse Modalities

13 upvotes · 28 JUL 2026 · Mingqiao Ye, Zhaochong An, Zhitong Gao et al.

This paper introduces Modus, a new type of any-to-any model that can predict any modality from any combination of others using only a decoder, without the need for specialized heads or losses. This approach can support a wide range of applications, such as chained generation and cross-modal self-verification, and has shown strong out-of-the-box performance on various benchmarks.

DecoupleMix: Decoupled Ratio Search and Convex Allocation for Scalable VLM Data Recipes

5 upvotes · 27 JUL 2026 · Jiahao Xie, Zhongbin Guo, Qianle Wang et al.

This paper introduces a systematic way to construct pretraining mixtures for Vision Language Models (VLMs) by breaking down the process into two parts: deciding which classes to combine and how to allocate data within each class. Practitioners can use this approach to improve the quality and diversity of their VLMs.
