BrickVision benchmark shows VLMs often ignore their own visual grounding
AndrewDai · x · 2026-11-11
A new ElorianAI paper examines the popular "grounded reasoning" recipe for VLMs and asks: do models actually use their grounding on visual problems? The answer: not always.
- The paper dissects the grounded reasoning pipeline and when grounding actually helps versus being decorative.
- The team releases BrickVision, a benchmark specifically designed to be hard to solve without grounding, testing whether models truly reason from visual evidence.
- The work is the first intern project of author dzyan01.
