Image First or Text First? Optimising the Sequencing of Modalities in Large Language Model Prompting and Reasoning Tasks by Grant Wardle, Teo Sušnjak

“…Our findings reveal that modality sequencing is a critical factor influencing reasoning performance, particularly in tasks with varying cognitive load and structural complexity. For simpler tasks involving a single image, positioning the modalities directly impacts model accuracy, whereas in complex, multi-step reasoning scenarios, the sequence must align with the logical structure of inference, often outweighing the specific placement of individual modalities. …”
