Seeing the Options: Typed Decisions over Visual Candidates with Reusable Option Memory
arXiv paper introducing Iris, a System One design that accepts image, text, or mixed candidates while leaving Jev's decision module untouched, with order-invariance, null-probability, and candidate-reuse results on a Multimodal-Mind2Web benchmark.

Highlights
- Iris admits image, text, or mixed candidates and leaves Jev's decision module unchanged.
- Independent encoding reaches 78.4/72.1/74.8% across three splits with a flip rate of exactly zero.
- Joint encoding with OneJev-4B reaches 90.6/89.5/91.6% but changes answers on 8-10% of reordered records.
- A third design reaches 92.1/87.0/90.2% at a third of OneJev's latency with null AUROC 0.93-0.97.
- Reusing image candidates across requests cuts latency 37x at K=256 and 191x at K=2048.

It asks what happens to the four properties System One decision models need - a none-of-the-above probability, invariance to candidate order, scalability in candidate count, and reuse of candidate computation - when the candidates themselves are images rather than text in letter slots.
OneJev and Jev-Omni put images in the request while candidates stay text in letter slots. Iris instead admits image, text, or mixed candidates and leaves Jev's decision module untouched.
It builds a visual-candidate benchmark from Multimodal-Mind2Web in which every candidate is the element's screenshot crop, with K=16 candidates and three splits.
Independent encoding reports a flip rate of exactly zero across the three splits. Joint encoding with a fine-tuned OneJev-4B changes its answer on 8-10% of records when the crops are reordered.
The design that encodes each candidate after the state, but never after another candidate, reaches 92.1/87.0/90.2% at a third of OneJev's latency, with a calibrated null probability at AUROC 0.93-0.97.
No. Set attention, token-level reads, and multi-vector memory buy nothing, because the encoder maps visually distinct elements to vectors within cosine 0.999 of each other.
The paper points to code in the lllfx/Iris repository on GitHub, alongside the benchmark built from Multimodal-Mind2Web screenshot crops.
