Causal Visual Recurrent Reasoning for Latent Visual Reasoning
September 5, 2026
Causal Visual Recurrent Reasoning (CVRR) forces models to rely on hidden-state computation by making recurrent updates the required path for prediction. The method preserves pretrained vision-language competence while ensuring the model actually uses visual information during reasoning.
