Abstract

Image tokenizers define the ``visual language'' of unified multimodal models, yet are commonly studied through isolated metrics or generation-/understanding-only evaluations. These evaluations do not fully capture how visual tokens behave when modeled jointly with text. We build a controlled pure-autoregressive testbed and track task-specific validation losses during multimodal continual pretraini
