Modern software development often involves managing extensive codebases, ensuring code accuracy, maintaining comprehensive documentation, and optimizing performance. These tasks are inherently complex, demanding significant time and effort from developers. Traditional code editors and integrated development environments (IDEs) provide essential features like syntax highlighting, error detection, and code suggestions. Yet, they need to grasp the broader… →

One of the main challenges in current multimodal language models (LMs) is their inability to utilize visual aids for reasoning processes. Unlike humans, who draw and sketch to facilitate problem-solving and reasoning, LMs rely solely on text for intermediate reasoning steps. This limitation significantly impacts their performance in tasks requiring spatial understanding and visual reasoning,… →
