VisionWeave: Weaving Elastic Visual Representations as a Native Capability of MLLMs
Multimodal large language models have become the dominant paradigm for visual understanding, but incur substantial costs by encoding inputs into dense, fixed-size patch tokens. However, visual information is unevenly distributed: some regions require fine-grained detail, while others admit compact representations. Downsampling sacrifices this detail, while existing token pruning and adaptive…
