VisionWeave: Weaving Elastic Visual Representations as a Native Capability of MLLMs

Excerpt

arXiv:2610.07987v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal large language models have become the dominant paradigm for visual understanding, but incur substantial costs by encoding inputs into dense, fixed-size patch tokens. However, visual information is unevenly distributed: some regions require fine-grained detail, while others admit compact representations. Downsampling sacrifices this detail, while existing token pruning and adaptive approaches remain limited in content-adaptive granulari
