It should operate over the <strong>right primitives for the current task</strong>.</p> <p>The paper <em>Thinking with Visual Primitives</em> shows that multimodal models reason better when they can point to visual entities using boxes and points. That solves a <strong>Reference Gap</strong>: language is often too vague to anchor reasoning to the right part of an image.</p>
