Researchers have identified a hidden instability in Vision-Language Models (VLMs) that is not captured by standard output-level assessments. A new evaluation framework measures internal embedding drift, spectral sensitivity, and structural smoothness, revealing that models can maintain correct answers while their internal representations shift significantly. The study found that larger models, despite higher accuracy, exhibit similar or greater sensitivity to perturbations, and that different tasks are affected by these perturbations in distinct ways. AI
IMPACT Highlights potential vulnerabilities in current VLM evaluation methods, suggesting a need for more robust testing to ensure reliable AI systems.
