1. Apple Introduces Internalized Visual Thinking for Video Reasoning

Apple. Apple researchers published a paper introducing Internalized Visual Thinking (IVT), a framework that lets multimodal models learn to reason visually during training while reasoning directly at inference. Instead of generating intermediate reasoning images like Visual Chain-of-Thought methods, IVT predicts latent representations of future video frames. The approach reports accuracy comparable to image-generating methods with more than 5x faster inference. Source
