Training a small projector between a frozen vision encoder and language model is an established approach to multimodal learning. As the parameter count of language models scales dramatically, we revisit which vision capabilities this approach can add while keeping their pretrained weights fixed. Here we train a 50M parameter projector from the vision encoder of Kimi K2.6 to GLM 5.2 and 5.3, both models without native vision capabilities, and further present a reproducible recipe for training these adapters at scale. We study the following: (a) how vision capabilities of multimodal models scale as purely the language model side scales, and (b) what specific vision capabilities are able to be imbued into a pure language model at scale, and which ones remain limited. We evaluate on MMMU-Pro and BLINK, examining both overall performance and results on individual visual tasks.
This publication proposes a definition and a classification of agile software development approaches and analyses ten software development methods that can be characterized as being "agile" against the defined criterion.

The study shows that agile practices improve both informal and formal communication, but indicates that, in larger development situations involving multiple external stakeholders, a mismatch of adequate communication mechanisms can sometimes even hinder the communication.
