AIR: Adaptive Interleaved Reasoning with Code in MLLMs (opens in new tab)

Following the paradigm shift initiated by OpenAI o3, interleaved reasoning with code to enhance multimodal large language models (MLLMs) has become a pivotal research frontier. The existing literature focuses primarily on tool-use within vision-perception tasks. However, such approaches typically rely on predefined heuristics for visual manipulation and are inherently incapable of addressing numerical computation problems due to their exclusiv...
