AI models learn to reason by writing and executing Python code

Researchers have developed a novel approach called Code-with-Image (CwI) that enables AI models to reason through visual tasks by writing and executing Python code. This method shifts the reasoning bottleneck from language description to algorithm implementation. By employing a self-evolving reflection loop, models can learn from their own programming errors and develop transferable skills. This technique significantly improves performance on complex visual reasoning tasks, with GPT-5.6-luna achieving 67% accuracy on the CwI-Bench, a substantial increase from its tool-free performance.
