arXiv:2606.03879v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As foundation models scale toward fusing more heterogeneous visual streams, understanding how diverse encoders interact under joint training becomes a prerequisite for principled design. Yet large vision-language models (LVLMs) currently lack the tools to do so, and parameter-efficient encoder configurations remain hard to identify before training. To re-examine encoder roles under joint training, on the 16-benchmark Cambrian-1 suite we retrain and evaluate all 31 non-empty subsets of five common vision encoders under a unified pipeline (~20k G
