GeoThinker framework actively integrates geometry for advanced spatial reasoning

Researchers have developed GeoThinker, a novel framework that enhances spatial reasoning in multimodal large language models (MLLMs) by actively integrating geometric information. Unlike previous passive fusion methods, GeoThinker allows models to selectively retrieve and incorporate relevant geometric data based on their internal reasoning needs. This active integration, achieved through Spatial-Grounded Fusion and Importance Gating, has led to state-of-the-art performance on spatial intelligence benchmarks, including a peak score of 72.6 on VSI-Bench.

    Thinking with Geometry: Active Geometry Integration for Spatial Reasoning

    arXiv:2602.06037v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent progress in spatial reasoning with Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) increasingly leverages geometric priors from 3D encoders. However, most existing integration strategies remain passive: geometry is exposed as a …
