arXiv:2606.15231v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have demonstrated impressive capabilities in many visual tasks, but they often struggle with factual grounding when confronted with complex, open-world scenarios. While recent multimodal deep search agents attempt to address this issue by utilizing external tools, the visual-native search paradigm remains underexplored. Existing methods primarily rely on simple images with explicit semantics and text-only evidence trajectories, limiting the agent's ability to perform multi-hop, cross-modal reasoning and se
The proliferation of multimodal large language models (MLLMs) and the increasing complexity of real-world data necessitates advanced visual reasoning to improve grounding and autonomous function.
Improving factual grounding in complex visual environments is crucial for the reliability and deployability of advanced AI agents, impacting various sectors from enterprise to defense.
This research outlines a pathway towards AI agents that can actively engage in visual reasoning, moving beyond text-centric evidence trajectories to better interpret and act upon visual information.
