Introducing PARTONOMY and PLUM, a new benchmark and segmenting LMM that enable fine-grained, part-level visual reasoning by addressing architectural flaws in existing LMMs and setting a new standard for grounded multimodal understanding.
REN extracts object-centric region tokens from frozen vision features using point prompts—no segmentation needed. It’s 60× faster and 35× lighter than SAM, with strong performance across tasks.
