New Q-Guide Agent Enhances Multimodal LLM Document Understanding

Researchers have developed Q-Guide, an agent designed to improve multimodal large language models' ability to understand documents. Unlike systems that rely on a single encoding of a page, Q-Guide actively seeks out missing information by using targeted tools to read text, zoom in on details, or identify specific regions. This question-guided approach significantly outperforms existing methods on benchmarks like DocVQA2026 and Manga109, demonstrating that accuracy improves with increased perception budget, particularly within a few deliberate rounds of information acquisition.

    Question-Guided Evidence Acquisition for Multimodal Visual Question Answering

    Multimodal LLMs can see a document, but they often can't read it reliably. Small text, tables, visual cues, and topological elements still trip them up under direct visual inference, even when the page is already sitting in the model's context. Most document-VQA systems treat per…
