We observe that current *large multimodal models (LMMs)* still struggle with seemingly straightforward reasoning tasks that require precise perception of low-level visual details, such as identifying spatial relations or solving simple mazes. In particular, this failure mode persists in question-answering tasks about vector graphics—images composed purely of 2D objects and shapes. |

To solve this challenge, we propose **Visually Descriptive Language Model (VDLM)**, a visual reasoning framework that operates with intermediate text-based visual descriptions—SVG representations and learned Primal Visual Description, which can be directly integrated into existing LLMs and LMMs. We demonstrate that VDLM outperforms state-of-the-art large multimodal models, such as GPT-4V, across various multimodal reasoning tasks involving vector graphics. See our [paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.06479) for more details. |
