arXiv:2609.38485v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Unified multimodal models (UMMs) train image understanding and autoregressive image generation on shared parameters, and the two objectives are known to interfere. Existing diagnoses and remedies operate at the resolution of layers or experts, measuri…
