baseten/GLM-5.2-Vision-NVFP4
Baseten releases GLM-5.2-Vision, a vision-language model that adds MoonViT vision encoder to GLM-5.2 via a trained PatchMerger projector, keeping the text backbone and vision tower frozen. The model is quantized to NVFP4 for efficient inference on Blackwell hardware.

This survey paper systematically reviews the paradigm evolution of unified vision-language perception in multimodal large language models (MLLMs), proposing a five-stage taxonomy and identifying open challenges toward general multimodal intelligence.
Do Vision-Language Models Truly Perform Vision Reasoning? A Rigorous Study of the Modality Gap
This paper introduces CrossMath, a controlled multimodal reasoning benchmark that reveals a critical limitation in current vision-language models: they perform reasoning primarily in textual space rather than genuine vision-grounded reasoning, with visual input often degrading performance compared to text-only baselines. The authors propose fine-tuning approaches to mitigate this modality gap and improve multimodal reasoning capabilities.
