From Stages to States: Unified Iterative Reasoning for MLLMs

arXiv:2610.15620v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal Chain-of-Thought (MCoT) substantially enhances the complex reasoning capabilities of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) by explicitly modeling intermediate reasoning processes. However, most learning-based MCoT methods follow a stage-centric paradigm, where different reasoning behaviors are assigned to predefined stages and optimized separately. This results in fragmented reasoning and a training-inference reasoning-state gap. To address these limitations, we propose ReState, a unified iterative reasoning framework that reformula
