arXiv:2607.04423v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Unified Multimodal Models (UMMs) integrate image understanding and generation within a single architecture, yet how the two tasks interact remains understudied. We investigate $\boldsymbol{\mathsf{transferability}}$ in UMMs: whether training a capability on one task improves the same capability on the other without explicit supervision. Through controlled experiments, we empirically find that transferability depends on architecture-models with fully shared transformer backbone and a unified visual encoder exhibit consistent cross-task transfer,
