Routing by Reasoning Need: Trajectory-Aware Decoding Control for Diffusion Vision-Language Models

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 10, 2026 · UTC

Diffusion vision-language models generate answers through iterative refinement, exposing intermediate answer trajectories that can be inspected and controlled at inference time. However, this controllability creates a reasoning-need mismatch, where a universal generation length is applied to questions with different reasoning demands. Visually closed questions may be harmed by continued refinement after a stable answer has formed, whereas reasoning-sensitive questions may be harmed by premature commitment. We formulate this problem as reasoning-budget mismatch and study it in LLaDA-V. Rather t
