We present Qwen-Image-VAE-2.0, a suite of high-compression Variational Autoencoders (VAEs) that achieve significant advances in both reconstruction fidelity and diffusability. To address the reconstruction bottlenecks of high compression, we adopt an improved architecture featuring Global Skip Connections (GSC) and expanded latent channels. Moreover, we scale training to billions of images and incorporate a synthetic rendering engine to improve performance in text-rich scenarios. To tackle the convergence challenges of high-dimensional latent space, we implement an enhanced semantic alignment strategy to make the latent space highly amenable to diffusion modeling. To optimize computational efficiency, we leverage an asymmetric and attention-free encoder-decoder backbone to minimize encoding overhead. We present a comprehensive evaluation of Qwen-Image-VAE-2.0 on public reconstruction benchmarks. To evaluate performance in text-rich scenarios, we propose OmniDoc-TokenBench, a new benchm

Large Language Model (LLM) search agents have shown strong promise for knowledge-intensive language tasks through multiple rounds of reasoning and information retrieval. Most existing systems access information using a retriever that takes a keyword or natural language query and returns a ranked list of documents using an index of pre-computed document representations. In this work, we explore a complementary perspective in which the search agent treats the corpus itself as the search environment and finds evidence by issuing executable shell commands. We introduce GrepSeek, an optimized direct corpus interaction (DCI) search agent that trains a compact search agent to find, filter, and compose evidence from large text corpora. To address the instability of learning behavior directly with reinforcement learning on large corpora, we propose a two-stage training pipeline. First, we construct a cold-start dataset using an answer-aware Tutor and answer-blind Planner to generate verified, c

Robotic systems that interact with the physical world must reason about kinematic and dynamic constraints imposed by their own embodiment, their environment, and the task at hand. We introduce KinDER, a benchmark for Kinematic and Dynamic Embodied Reasoning that targets physical reasoning challenges arising in robot learning and planning. KinDER comprises 25 procedurally generated environments, a Gymnasium-compatible Python library with parameterized skills and demonstrations, and a standardized evaluation suite with 13 implemented baselines spanning task and motion planning, imitation learning, reinforcement learning, and foundation-model-based approaches. The environments are designed to isolate five core physical reasoning challenges: basic spatial relations, nonprehensile multi-object manipulation, tool use, combinatorial geometric constraints, and dynamic constraints, disentangled from perception, language understanding, and application-specific complexity.

The landscape of high-performance image generation models is currently shifting from the inefficient multi-step ones to the efficient few-step counterparts (e.g, Z-Image-Turbo and FLUX.2-klein). However, these models present significant challenges for directly continuous supervised fine-tuning. For example, applying the commonly used fine-tuning technique would compromises their inherent few-step inference capability. To address this, we propose D-OPSD, a novel training paradigm for step-distilled diffusion models that enables on-policy learning during supervised fine-tuning. We first find that the modern diffusion model where the LLM/VLM serves as the encoder can inherit its encoder's in-context capabilities. This enables us to make the training as an on-policy self-distillation process. Specifically, during training, we make the model acts as both the teacher and the student with different contexts, where the student is conditioned only on the text feature, while the teacher is condi

The emergence of Large Language Models (LLMs) has illuminated the potential for a general-purpose user simulator. However, existing benchmarks remain constrained to isolated scenarios, narrow action spaces, or synthetic data, failing to capture the holistic nature of authentic human behavior. To bridge this gap, we introduce OmniBehavior, the first user simulation benchmark constructed entirely from real-world data, integrating long-horizon, cross-scenario, and heterogeneous behavioral patterns into a unified framework. Based on this benchmark, we first provide empirical evidence that previous datasets with isolated scenarios suffer from tunnel vision, whereas real-world decision-making relies on long-term, cross-scenario causal chains. Extensive evaluations of state-of-the-art LLMs reveal that current models struggle to accurately simulate these complex behaviors, with performance plateauing even as context windows expand. Crucially, a systematic comparison between simulated and authe

BioMatrix: 서열·구조·언어를 아우르는 포괄적 생물학 파운데이션 모델로

We present BioMatrix, the first multimodal foundation model that natively integrates sequences, structures, and natural language for both molecules and proteins within a single decoder-only architecture. Existing biological foundation models pursue native multimodality and broad entity coverage separately: those that fuse multiple modalities under a shared objective remain confined to a single entity type, while those spanning multiple entity types either omit explicit structural modeling or rely on adapter-based designs in which the model cannot natively generate the very modalities it can read. BioMatrix closes this gap by mapping molecular sequences (supporting both SMILES and SELFIES notations), molecular structures, protein sequences, protein structures, and natural language into a shared discrete token space through a unified tokenization scheme, so that all modalities are consumed and produced uniformly under a single next-token prediction objective -- without external encoders,

Generating diverse responses is crucial for test-time scaling of large language models (LLMs), yet standard stochastic sampling mostly yields surface-level lexical variation, limiting semantic exploration. In this paper, we propose Exploratory Sampling (ESamp), a decoding approach that explicitly encourages semantic diversity during generation. ESamp is motivated by the well-known observation that neural networks tend to make lower-error predictions on inputs similar to those encountered before, and incur higher prediction error on novel ones. Building on this property, we train a lightweight Distiller at test time to predict deep-layer hidden representations of the LLM from its shallow-layer representations to model the LLM's depth-wise representation transitions. During decoding, the Distiller continuously adapts to the mappings induced by the current generation context. ESamp uses the prediction error as a novelty signal to reweight candidate token extensions conditioned on the curr

Designing realistic and functional 3D indoor rooms is essential for a wide range of applications, including interior design, virtual reality, gaming, and embodied AI. While recent MLLM-based approaches have shown great potential for 3D room synthesis from textual descriptions or reference images, text-based methods struggle to capture precise spatial information, and existing image-conditioned agents suffer from instability and infinite looping when tasked with holistic room generation from top-down views. To address these limitations, we propose Code-as-Room, an MLLM-based agentic framework equipped with a structured execution harness, which represents 3D rooms with Blender codes. Given a top-down room image, the framework parses the reference image to extract scene elements and their spatial relationships, and synthesizes executable Blender code for geometry, materials, and lighting in a principled, multi-stage pipeline. A cross-stage memory module is maintained throughout to mitigat

S-Agent, 공간 도구 사용으로 공간 지능 추론 이끌어낸다

Real-world spatial intelligence requires reasoning over a continuous and evolving 3D world, yet existing VLMs and tool-augmented agents largely remain tied to static, stateless inference from isolated visual observations. We introduce \textsc{S-Agent}, a spatial tool-use agentic paradigm for understanding and reasoning over continuous multi-view images and videos. By formulating spatial reasoning as spatio-temporal evidence accumulation rather than isolated frame-level prediction, S-Agent reshapes spatial perception into scene-centric understanding beyond frame-centric recognition. Specifically, S-Agent casts the VLM as a semantic planner that decides what evidence is needed, while a hierarchy of spatial tools and experts grounds objects in 2D, lifts them into 3D geometric evidence, and aggregates this evidence into high-level spatial knowledge (e.g., counting, measurement, orientation, and relative position). Additionally, a temporal memory mechanism, including Scene Memory for mainta

Step distillation has become a leading technique for accelerating diffusion models, among which Distribution Matching Distillation (DMD) and Consistency Distillation are two representative paradigms. While consistency methods enforce self-consistency along the full PF-ODE trajectory to steer it toward the clean data manifold, vanilla DMD relies on sparse supervision at a few predefined discrete timesteps. This restricted discrete-time formulation and mode-seeking nature of the reverse KL divergence tends to exhibit visual artifacts and over-smoothed outputs, often necessitating complex auxiliary modules -- such as GANs or reward models -- to restore visual fidelity. In this work, we introduce Continuous-Time Distribution Matching (CDM), migrating the DMD framework from discrete anchoring to continuous optimization for the first time. CDM achieves this through two continuous-time designs. First, we replace the fixed discrete schedule with a dynamic continuous schedule of random length,

Causal autoregressive video diffusion models support real-time streaming generation by extrapolating future chunks from previously generated content. Distilling such generators from high-fidelity bidirectional teachers yields competitive few-step models, yet a persistent gap between the history distributions encountered during training and those arising at inference constrains generation quality over long horizons. We introduce the Real-time Autoregressive Video Extrapolation Network (RAVEN), a training-time test framework that repacks each self rollout into an interleaved sequence of clean historical endpoints and noisy denoising states. This formulation aligns training attention with inference-time extrapolation and allows downstream chunk losses to supervise the history representations on which future predictions depend. We further propose Consistency-model Group Relative Policy Optimization (CM-GRPO), which reformulates a consistency sampling step as a conditional Gaussian transiti

RynnWorld-4D: 로봇 조작을 위한 4D embodied world model

Robotic manipulation in the open world requires not only recognizing what a scene looks like, but also anticipating how its 3D structure moves under interaction. We argue that synchronized RGB, depth, and optical flow, namely RGB-DF, provide a physically grounded representation that captures the underlying 4D dynamics of a scene. Compared to 2D pixel videos, this multi-modal synergy aligns visual appearance with geometric structure and temporal motion, creating a representation space significantly closer to the low-level end-effector actions demanded by robotic systems, thereby narrowing the gap between world prediction and policy learning. Building on this insight, we introduce RynnWorld-4D, a generative model that co-produces future RGB frames, depth maps, and optical flow from a single RGB-D image and a language instruction within one unified diffusion process. This 4D world model features a tri-branch architecture that integrates cross-modal attention with frame-wise 3D RoPE, ensur

We formulate computer vision as unified multimodal generation, where heterogeneous visual tasks are expressed in the native text and image generation spaces of a unified multimodal model, without task-specific architectures. Under this formulation, SenseNova-Vision uses natural-language instructions and optional visual prompts to specify tasks, target regions or views, and decoding conventions, and generates responses as text for symbolic outputs, images for dense spatial predictions, or mixed text-and-image outputs for compositional tasks. To support large-scale training, we convert diverse computer vision annotations into instruction-response examples compatible with these generation spaces, resulting in the SenseNova-Vision Corpus, a computer-vision instruction-response corpus spanning text, image, and mixed targets. Starting from an off-the-shelf pretrained unified multimodal model, SenseNova-Vision is trained primarily on this corpus, with auxiliary multimodal data used as a capab

Diffusion Large Language Models (dLLMs) have recently emerged as a promising alternative to autoregressive models, offering competitive performance while naturally supporting parallel decoding. However, as dLLMs are increasingly integrated with Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures to scale model capacity, a fundamental mismatch arises between block parallel decoding and token-level expert selection. Specifically, each dLLM forward pass processes multiple tokens with bidirectional dependencies, whereas conventional MoE layers route each token independently. This mismatch substantially increases the number of uniquely activated experts, making inference increasingly memory-bound. To address this, we propose dMoE, a simple yet effective block-level MoE framework. The central idea of dMoE is to aggregate token-level expert distributions within each block into a unified block-level expert distribution, which is then used to guide expert routing in a more coherent manner. In this way, dMoE

Recent end-to-end spoken dialogue models enable natural interaction. However, as user demands become increasingly complex, models that rely solely on conversational abilities often struggle to cope. Incorporating agentic capabilities is therefore essential: by enabling tool use, these models can extend their knowledge boundaries and better solve real-world tasks. Yet, existing research has largely concentrated on core perception and generation, with comparatively limited exploration of such tool-augmented extensions. To bridge this gap, we present VoxMind, an integrated framework designed to equip end-to-end spoken dialogue models with comprehensive agentic abilities. Leveraging our curated 470-hour AgentChat dataset, we incorporate a "Think-before-Speak" mechanism, enabling the model to internalize structured reasoning as a critical prerequisite for planning and response generation. Furthermore, to mitigate latency bottlenecks caused by large-scale tool integration, we propose a Multi

Video-language models (VLMs) learn to reason about the dynamic visual world through natural language. We introduce a suite of open datasets, benchmarks, and recipes for scalable oversight that enable precise video captioning. First, we define a structured specification for describing subjects, scenes, motion, spatial, and camera dynamics, grounded by hundreds of carefully defined visual primitives developed with professional video creators such as filmmakers. Next, to curate high-quality captions, we introduce CHAI (Critique-based Human-AI Oversight), a framework where trained experts critique and revise model-generated pre-captions into improved post-captions. This division of labor improves annotation accuracy and efficiency by offloading text generation to models, allowing humans to better focus on verification. Additionally, these critiques and preferences between pre- and post-captions provide rich supervision for improving open-source models (Qwen3-VL) on caption generation, rewa

Autoregressive (AR) video diffusion enables variable-length synthesis, but long-horizon generation often suffers from accumulated errors and identity drift. For efficiency, existing methods commonly adopt sliding-window attention during generation. This creates an irreversible generation trajectory: once the active window accumulates appearance errors, subsequent generations can only condition on this degraded trajectory and drift further away. We address this limitation by formulating long video generation as a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) problem. Rather than relying solely on the recent window, we treat previously generated latents as a dynamic, searchable history. We propose LongLive-RAG, a general retrieval framework for AR video generation. At each new block, LongLive-RAG uses a query embedding to retrieve relevant historical latents. This lightweight retrieval step adds only a small overhead relative to generation and lets the generator condition on non-local context ins

Can a large language model (LLM) improve at code generation using only its own raw outputs, without a verifier, a teacher model, or reinforcement learning? We answer in the affirmative with simple self-distillation (SSD): sample solutions from the model with certain temperature and truncation configurations, then fine-tune on those samples with standard supervised fine-tuning. SSD improves Qwen3-30B-Instruct from 42.4% to 55.3% pass@1 on LiveCodeBench v6, with gains concentrating on harder problems, and it generalizes across Qwen and Llama models at 4B, 8B, and 30B scale, including both instruct and thinking variants. To understand why such a simple method can work, we trace these gains to a precision-exploration conflict in LLM decoding and show that SSD reshapes token distributions in a context-dependent way, suppressing distractor tails where precision matters while preserving useful diversity where exploration matters. Taken together, SSD offers a complementary post-training direct

EvoEmbedding: 장문맥 검색과 에이전트 메모리를 위한 진화형 표현

Existing embedding models are inherently static: they encode text segments in isolation, ignoring their surrounding context and temporal order. This paper introduces EvoEmbedding, a novel embedding model that generates evolvable representations for retrieval. It is tailored for long-context scenarios, where information is dynamic, sequential, and requires continuous state tracking. Our design is simple: EvoEmbedding maintains a continuously updated latent memory as it sequentially processes inputs, and uses it alongside the raw content to jointly generate evolvable embeddings. Consequently, for the same query, our model adapts its representation to retrieve distinct targets based on the evolving context, going beyond static semantic search. To equip the model with this capability, we construct EvoTrain-180K, a diverse dataset for the joint optimization of latent memory and retrieval. Furthermore, we introduce a memory queue to prevent representation collapse during recurrent encoding,

Towards an embodied generalist for real-world interaction, Multimodal Large Language Model (MLLM) agents still suffer from challenging latency, sparse feedback, and irreversible mistakes. Video games offer an ideal testbed with rich visual observations and closed-loop interaction, demanding fine-grained perception, long-horizon planning, and precise control. However, systematically evaluating these capabilities is currently hindered by heterogeneous action interfaces and heuristic verification. To this end, we introduce GameWorld, a benchmark designed for standardized and verifiable evaluation of MLLMs as generalist game agents in browser environments. Two game agent interfaces are studied: (i) computer-use agents that directly emit keyboard and mouse controls, and (ii) generalist multimodal agents that act in a semantic action space via deterministic Semantic Action Parsing. GameWorld contains 34 diverse games and 170 tasks, each paired with state-verifiable metrics for outcome-based

Video-Oasis, 비디오 이해 평가를 다시 묻다

The inherent complexity of video understanding makes it difficult to determine whether Video-LLM benchmark performance stems from visual perception, linguistic reasoning, or knowledge priors. While many benchmarks have emerged to assess high-level reasoning, shared criteria for evaluating video understanding remain largely overlooked. Instead of introducing yet another benchmark, we take a step back to re-examine the criteria for evaluating video understanding. In this work, we introduce Video-Oasis, a sustainable diagnostic suite for systematically auditing existing video understanding benchmarks. This audit reveals that 55\% of existing benchmark samples are solvable without visual input or temporal context. After filtering these shortcuts, the remaining video-native challenges expose a substantial capability gap: state-of-the-art models perform only marginally above random guessing. Building on these findings, we use the distilled challenges as a testbed to investigate which algorit

멀티 에이전트 추론의 스트리밍 커뮤니케이션

Multi-agent reasoning systems adopt a "generate-then-transfer" paradigm that forces end-to-end latency to scale linearly with pipeline depth. We introduce StreamMA, a multi-agent reasoning system that streams each reasoning step to downstream agents as soon as it is generated, pipelining adjacent agents and thus reducing latency. Surprisingly, this pipelining also improves effectiveness: because multi-step reasoning quality is non-uniform and early steps are more reliable than later ones, working with these reliable early steps instead of the full chain prevents error-prone late steps from misleading downstream agents. We formalize both advantages with the first closed-form joint analysis of stream, serial, and single protocols, deriving the effectiveness ordering, speedup upper bound, and cost ratio. Across eight reasoning benchmarks spanning mathematics, science, and code, two frontier LLMs (Claude Opus 4.6 and GPT-5.4), and three topologies (Chain, Tree, Graph), StreamMA outperforms

Open-ended image generation is no longer a simple prompt-to-image problem. High-quality generation often requires an agent to combine a model's internal generative ability with external resources. As requests become more diverse and demanding, we aim to develop a general image-generation agent that can self-evolve through trajectories and use tools more effectively across varied generation challenges. To this end, we propose GenEvolve, a self-evolving framework based on Tool-Orchestrated Visual Experience Distillation. In GenEvolve, each generation attempt is modeled as a tool-orchestrated trajectory, where the agent gathers evidence, selects references, invokes generation skills, and composes them into a prompt-reference program. Unlike existing agentic generation methods that mainly rely on image-level scalar rewards, GenEvolve compares multiple trajectories for the same request and abstracts best-worst differences into structured visual experience, provided only to a privileged teac

Unified models (UMs) hold promise for their ability to understand and generate content across heterogeneous modalities. Compared to merely generating visual content, the use of UMs for interleaved cross-modal reasoning is more promising and valuable, e.g., for solving understanding problems that require dense visual thinking, improving visual generation through self-reflection, or modeling visual dynamics of the physical world guided by stepwise action interventions. However, existing UMs necessitate pixel decoding as a bridge due to their disjoint visual representations for understanding and generation, which is both ineffective and inefficient. In this paper, we introduce LatentUM, a novel unified model that represents all modalities within a shared semantic latent space, eliminating the need for pixel-space mediation between visual understanding and generation. This design naturally enables flexible interleaved cross-modal reasoning and generation. Beyond improved computational effi

AutoMem: 인지 스킬로서의 메모리 자동 학습

Memory expertise is a learned skill: knowing what to encode, when to retrieve, and how to organize knowledge--a capacity known in cognitive science as metamemory. We bring this perspective to LLMs by treating memory management as a trainable skill. We promote file-system operations to first-class memory actions alongside task actions, letting the model itself decide how to manage its memory. This memory skill improves along two axes: the structure that supports it (prompts, file schemas, action vocabulary), and the proficiency of the model exercising it. Both axes resist manual optimization: episodes in long-horizon tasks run for thousands of steps, and a single memory mistake can hide long before it surfaces, making human review of full trajectories impractical. We introduce AutoMem, a framework that automates both axes. In the first loop, a strong LLM reviews complete agent trajectories and iteratively revises the memory structure that shapes how the agent interacts with its memory f

UniverSat: 해상도·모달리티에 구애받지 않는 지구 관측용 Transformer

Vision Transformers (ViT) dominate computer vision. However, their reliance on rigid patch projectors hinders transfer to Earth Observation (EO), where input modalities, scales, and resolutions vary widely. We introduce UniverSat, a ViT-style backbone built around a Universal Patch Encoder that maps patches from arbitrary spatial, spectral, and temporal resolutions, and from both optical and non-optical sensors, into a shared embedding space with a shared set of weights. This enables training a single model on heterogeneous multimodal corpora via self-supervision, yielding robust, sensor-agnostic spatial features. We validate this approach with strong results across classification and segmentation on standard EO benchmarks from GeoBench, PANGEABench, and SpectralEarth. Our code and models are available at https://github.com/gastruc/UniverSat.

The rapid advancement toward long-context reasoning and multi-modal intelligence has made the memory footprint of the Key-Value (KV) cache a dominant memory bottleneck for efficient deployment. While the established per-channel quantization effectively accommodates intrinsic channel-wise outliers in Key tensors, its efficacy diminishes under extreme compression. In this work, we revisit the inherent limitations of the per-channel quantization paradigm from both empirical and theoretical perspectives. Our analysis identifies Token Norm Imbalance (TNI) as the primary bottleneck to quantization fidelity. We demonstrate that TNI systematically amplifies errors when shared quantization parameters are required to span token groups exhibiting substantial norm disparities. Instead of relying on intricate quantization pipelines (e.g., TurboQuant), we propose OScaR (Omni-Scaled Canalized Rotation), an accurate and lightweight KV cache compression framework for X-LLMs (i.e., text-only, multi-moda

ICA Lens: 별도 딕셔너리 학습 없이 언어 모델 해석하기

Finding interpretable directions in language-model representations is critical for understanding and controlling model behavior. Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) have become the standard tool for this purpose, but using them as the default first lens often requires training, storing, and evaluating large overcomplete dictionaries. This bottleneck limits rapid exploration and raises a fundamental question: how much interpretable structure is already visible from activation geometry before training another neural dictionary? Our intuition is simple: many interpretable directions are selective on tokens, and these directions should look less Gaussian than random directions. We therefore revisit independent component analysis (ICA), a classical method for finding non-Gaussian directions, as a compact lens for language-model interpretability. We find that ICA has been underestimated for LLM interpretability, because prior uses often relied on off-the-shelf ICA implementations that are brittle on

멀티블록 Diffusion 언어 모델

Block Diffusion Language Models (BD-LMs) improve diffusion-based text generation with KV caching and flexible-length generation. A natural next step is to extend them from Single-Block Diffusion (SingleBD) to Multi-Block Diffusion (MultiBD), where a running-set of consecutive blocks is decoded concurrently for inter-block parallelism. However, existing BD-LMs are mostly trained under teacher forcing, where the model observes only one noisy block conditioned on a clean prefix. While the recent diffusion forcing strategy introduces visibility among multiple noisy blocks, its training states still differ from MultiBD inference, where decoding operates on a bounded running-set with heterogeneous slot-wise noise patterns. To bridge this gap, we propose Multi-Block Diffusion Language Models (MBD-LMs), obtained by post-training BD-LMs with Multi-block Teacher Forcing (MultiTF). MultiTF integrates teacher forcing and diffusion forcing by training on bounded noise-groups conditioned on clean pr

Generative novel view synthesis faces a fundamental dilemma: geometric priors provide spatial alignment but become sparse and inaccurate under view changes, while appearance priors offer visual fidelity but lack geometric correspondence. Existing methods either propagate geometric errors throughout generation or suffer from signal conflicts when fusing both statically. We introduce MoCam, which employs structured denoising dynamics to orchestrate a coordinated progression from geometry to appearance within the diffusion process.MoCam first leverages geometric priors in early stages to anchor coarse structures and tolerate their incompleteness, then switches to appearance priors in later stages to actively correct geometric errors and refine details. This design naturally unifies static and dynamic view synthesis by temporally decoupling geometric alignment and appearance refinement within the diffusion process.Experiments demonstrate that MoCam significantly outperforms prior methods,
