Three papers to read first, in the order they came out- 1Vision and language representations may never fully align regardless of model scale
Vision and language representations remain inherently misaligned across scale, causing predictable VLM generalization failures and correlating with other simple multimodal errors.
Oct 2026 - 2Sensorimotor alignment predicts robot task success offline
Sensorimotor alignment, an offline metric comparing sensory and motor representation neighborhoods, predicts robot task success across embodied model families.
Oct 2026 - 3AI models can align language and vision using 42-fold fewer samples
Joint-Embedding Predictive Architectures with good views provably learn the same representation across modalities up to a rotation.
