Dynamic Gated Pathways wire every ViT layer to every LLM layer, boosting MLLMs over LLaVA-1.5

HKUST · hf · 2026-11-09

Researchers from Northwestern Polytechnical University and HKUST tackle the under-explored 'where to connect' question in MLLMs: how hierarchical visual features should be wired into an LLM. Their Dynamic Gated Pathways connect all ViT layers to all LLM layers, letting each LLM layer dynamically gate its preferred visual granularity, yielding consistent multimodal gains over LLaVA-1.5 baselines.
