Research questionHow can multimodal chain-of-thought be compressed without losing image-dependent reasoning or inducing hallucinations?Long multimodal reasoning trajectories increase inference cost and KV-cache pressure. Compression can remove reasoning steps that depend on the image, causing visual laziness or hallucinated explanations.

Its reported experiments use base models such as Qwen3-VL-Thinking, with fewer than 900 training samples, and report reduced reasoning length and faster inference while preserving accuracy; these results are evidence for the described method and tested models rather than a general guarantee.research paper · Sep 8, 2026
