With @andrei-a-manea.bsky.social, we posted a survey on multilingual vision-language models 👉 arxiv.org/pdf/2509.22123
We reviewed 31 models+21 benchmarks. There's a tension between language neutrality (same results across languages) & cultural awareness (context matters differently across cultures)
