VLM-in-Sandbox: Visual Workspaces for Agentic Visual Reasoning

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 21, 2026 · UTC

Sandboxed computer environments support multi-step reasoning with tools, executable programs, and persistent files, yet their extension from language models to vision-language models (VLMs) introduces a distinct state-management problem. Visual reasoning produces intermediate image-valued evidence---crops, masks, overlays, zoomed regions, and analytic renderings---that must remain addressable without accumulating unboundedly in multimodal context. We introduce VLM-in-Sandbox, a training-free framework for agentic multimodal reasoning in controlled computer environments. Its Visual Workspace re
