## Papers

The most cited first (OpenAlex and our library).

1. **[Cambrian-1: A Fully Open, Vision-Centric Exploration of Multimodal LLMs](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/tong-2024-cambrian-1-fully-open-vision/)** *(2024 · 208 citations)* Multimodal LLMs (MLLMs) typically improve by scaling the language backbone, while choices about the vision side get little systematic study and stay disconnected from visual representation learning research.
2. **[V*: Guided Visual Search as a Core Mechanism in Multimodal LLMs](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wu-2023-v-guided-visual-search-core/)** *(2023 · 152 citations)* Multimodal LLMs usually view images through frozen vision encoders such as CLIP, which work at low resolution (e.g., 224×224 or 336×336).
