An arXiv study combines two vision models with open-weight multimodal language models to resolve conflicting evidence in plant-disease images. The approach improved PlantDoc accuracy from 63.9% to 68.5% with Gemma, while tests on two Cornell robot-acquired datasets reached 98.9% and 99.3% accuracy. The researchers…
A revised arXiv paper proposes TSDS, a framework that stops local reasoning when an action stabilizes and sends uncertain actions to a cloud model. The authors report 43%-65% lower per-episode thinking compute on three of four tested tasks while maintaining stated guarantees on expected reward and cloud-call rate.
