Reasoning with Image Generation

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 14, 2026 · UTC

Chain-of-thought reasoning has revolutionized natural language processing by enabling large language models (LLMs) to decompose problems into intermediate steps before answering. Yet confining reasoning to the textual domain presents limitations for tasks requiring direct manipulation of visual representations. Recent efforts augment multimodal LLMs with external visual expert tools such as depth estimation or object detection modules, but these remain fundamentally limited by their reliance on narrow, rigid operations that cannot flexibly generate or transform visual content. We propose ReIma
