Convergent Emergence of In-Context Learning Across Modalities

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 12, 2026 · UTC

Few-shot in-context learning (ICL), the capacity of a model to infer abstract patterns from input-output examples provided in its prompt and apply them to new inputs, has been extensively studied in large language models trained for next-token prediction on human text. Recently, few-shot ICL has been demonstrated in autoregressive genomic models as well. This raises a question: does ICL emerge broadly across domains, and if so, what common structure is shared? To address both, we develop a controlled cross-modality framework that instantiates the same task suite in a variety of modalities to t
