The visual scratchpad space is a technique that will be copied; the shape of all vision models over the next two years will be "keep your eyes open while thinking."

UnverifiedGlimpse's visual draft space architecture requires the model to have two capabilities: metacognition to judge whether the current information is sufficient, and an interface to translate operations such as crop coordinates and frame timestamps into executable instructions; the cost is a significant increase in inference latency and computation.68% similarUnverifiedGlimpse adopts a 'vision-native reasoning' architecture, in which the intermediate representations during reasoning remain in visual form rather than being translated into text tokens early on.68% similarUnverifiedThe mixed restoration strategy preserves visual fidelity for complex graphics that are difficult to vectorize, while converting structured content such as text, tables, and flowchart boxes into editable objects.68% similarUnverifiedDuring its thinking process, Glimpse repeatedly returns to the original image, and can crop regions, extract frames from video, and run code to measure, which Elorian calls a visual scratchpad.67% similarUnverifiedVisual Chain-of-Thought (Visual CoT) has the model generate intermediate reasoning images while producing intermediate text steps, such as annotating key regions, predicting future frames, or drawing spatial relationship diagrams.66% similar
