Encoder-Free Multimodal LLMs Learn Implicit Encoders
arXiv:2610.24239v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We empirically analyze two recently proposed encoder-free multimodal LLMs, Gemma-4 12B and Inkling-Small. Unlike previous multimodal LLMs, these models do not use modality-specific encoders to extract tokenized embeddings representing audio and image…
