Transferability of Language Prompting Techniques to Multimodal Inputs
Standard test-time prompting methods developed for text-only language models—including few-shot demonstration prompting and chain-of-thought (CoT) prompting—remain directly applicable and effective when working with multimodal inputs. This enables multimodal models to leverage structured reasoning elicitation and in-context examples across combined image and text tasks.

Which standard test-time prompting methods developed for text-only language models remain directly applicable and effective when working with multimodal inputs?
What two core capabilities do multimodal models leverage across combined image and text tasks through the transfer of standard text-only prompting techniques?
A multimodal model fails to answer an analytical question about an intricate visual diagram accurately because it attempts to predict the final conclusion immediately without intermediate steps. Analyze how applying chain-of-thought (CoT) prompting resolves this failure, and explain how this language-derived method functions across combined image and text inputs.
