MuCRASP: Multimodal Chain-of-thought Reasoning aware Structured Pruning

Researchers introduce MuCRASP, a structured pruning framework designed to compress vision-language models while preserving chain-of-thought reasoning capabilities. The method addresses limitations in existing pruning techniques by identifying reasoning-critical components and accounting for differences between visual and textual modalities, achieving superior performance preservation at 30-50% compression rates.

Collaborative Edge-to-Server Inference for Vision-Language Models

Researchers propose a collaborative edge-to-server inference framework for vision-language models that reduces communication costs by selectively transmitting only high-entropy regions of interest rather than full-resolution images. The two-stage approach maintains inference accuracy while substantially decreasing bandwidth requirements across visual question-answering tasks.

ToolGate: Token-Efficient Pre-Call Control for Tool-Augmented Vision-Language Agents

Researchers introduce ToolGate, a control mechanism that optimizes token efficiency in vision-language agents by intelligently deciding when to execute tool calls versus skip them. The system reduces computational costs to 64-69% of baseline while maintaining accuracy, demonstrating that selective tool usage outperforms indiscriminate execution in AI agents.
