Beacon: Optimizing MLLM Agentic Visual Reasoning via Mode Adaptiveness
July 29, 2026
Beacon introduces Mode Adaptiveness (MA) and Tool Effect (TE) to improve multimodal LLM efficiency. The framework helps models recognize when tool use is computationally necessary versus when text-only reasoning suffices for a given visual task.
