Chain-of-Thought Degrades Visual Spatial Reasoning Capabilities of Multimodal LLMs

arXiv:2604.16060v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal Reasoning Models (MRMs) leveraging Chain-of-Thought (CoT) based thinking have revolutionized mathematical and logical problem-solving. However, we show that this paradigm struggles with generalized spatial intelligence. We perform a...
