🧠Researchers reveal that unified multimodal models (UMMs) combining language and vision capabilities fail to achieve genuine synergy, exhibiting divergent information patterns that undermine reasoning transfer to image synthesis. An information-theoretic framework analyzing ten models shows pseudo-unification stems from asymmetric encoding and conflicting response patterns, with only models implementing contextual prediction achieving stronger text-to-image reasoning.
