Event Summary
arXiv:2604.13054v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have achieved rapid progress, yet their scaling behavior remains less clearly characterized and often less predictable than that of text-only LLMs. Increasing model size and task diversity often yields diminishi
