A new research paper questions the effectiveness of latent tokens in vision-language models for visual reasoning. The study found that replacing these intermediate "imagination" tokens with uninformative ones did not impact model accuracy, suggesting they play a minimal causal role. The research identifies two main issues: existing datasets often provide insufficient information in latent tokens, and the tokens generated during inference deviate significantly from ideal representations, hindering their utility.
