Unlocking the Power of Critical Factors for 3D Visual Geometry Estimation

Feed-forward visual geometry estimation has recently made rapid progress. However, an important gap remains: multi-frame models usually produce better cross-frame consistency, yet they often underperform strong per-frame methods on single-frame accuracy. This observation motivates our systematic investigation into the critical factors driving model performance through rigorous ablation studies, which reveals several key insights: 1) Scaling up data diversity and quality unlocks further performance gains even in state-of-the-art visual geometry estimation methods; 2) Commonly adopted confidence-aware loss and gradient-based loss mechanisms may unintentionally hinder performance; 3) Joint supervision through both per-sequence and per-frame alignment improves results, while local region alignment surprisingly degrades performance. Furthermore, we introduce two enhancements to integrate the advantages of optimization-based methods and high-resolution inputs: a consistency loss function that enforces alignment between depth maps, camera parameters, and point maps, and an efficient architectural design that leverages high-resolution information. We integrate these designs into CARVE, a resolution-enhanced model for feed-forward visual geometry estimation. Experiments on point cloud reconstruction, video depth estimation, and camera pose/intrinsic estimation show that CARVE achieves strong and robust performance across diverse benchmarks.

MMControl: Unified Multi-Modal Control for Joint Audio-Video Generation

Recent advances in Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) have enabled high-quality joint audio-video generation, producing videos with synchronized audio within a single model. However, existing controllable generation frameworks are typically restricted to video-only control. This restricts comprehensive controllability and often leads to suboptimal cross-modal alignment. To bridge this gap, we present MMControl, which enables users to perform Multi-Modal Control in joint audio-video generation. MMControl introduces a dual-stream conditional injection mechanism. It incorporates both visual and acoustic control signals, including reference images, reference audio, depth maps, and pose sequences, into a joint generation process. These conditions are injected through bypass branches into a joint audio-video Diffusion Transformer, enabling the model to simultaneously generate identity-consistent video and timbre-consistent audio under structural constraints. Furthermore, we introduce modality-specific guidance scaling, which allows users to independently and dynamically adjust the influence strength of each visual and acoustic condition at inference time. Extensive experiments demonstrate that MMControl achieves fine-grained, composable control over character identity, voice timbre, body pose, and scene layout in joint audio-video generation.

Exploring Spatial Intelligence from a Generative Perspective

Spatial intelligence is essential for multimodal large language models, yet current benchmarks largely assess it only from an understanding perspective. We ask whether modern generative or unified multimodal models also possess generative spatial intelligence (GSI), the ability to respect and manipulate 3D spatial constraints during image generation, and whether such capability can be measured or improved. We introduce GSI-Bench, the first benchmark designed to quantify GSI through spatially grounded image editing. It consists of two complementary components: GSI-Real, a high-quality real-world dataset built via a 3D-prior-guided generation and filtering pipeline, and GSI-Syn, a large-scale synthetic benchmark with controllable spatial operations and fully automated labeling. Together with a unified evaluation protocol, GSI-Bench enables scalable, model-agnostic assessment of spatial compliance and editing fidelity. Experiments show that fine-tuning unified multimodal models on GSI-Syn yields substantial gains on both synthetic and real tasks and, strikingly, also improves downstream spatial understanding. This provides the first clear evidence that generative training can tangibly strengthen spatial reasoning, establishing a new pathway for advancing spatial intelligence in multimodal models.

OmniJigsaw: Enhancing Omni-Modal Reasoning via Modality-Orchestrated Reordering

To extend the reinforcement learning post-training paradigm to omni-modal models for concurrently bolstering video-audio understanding and collaborative reasoning, we propose OmniJigsaw, a generic self-supervised framework built upon a temporal reordering proxy task. Centered on the chronological reconstruction of shuffled audio-visual clips, this paradigm strategically orchestrates visual and auditory signals to compel cross-modal integration through three distinct strategies: Joint Modality Integration, Sample-level Modality Selection, and Clip-level Modality Masking. Recognizing that the efficacy of such proxy tasks is fundamentally tied to puzzle quality, we design a two-stage coarse-to-fine data filtering pipeline, which facilitates the efficient adaptation of OmniJigsaw to massive unannotated omni-modal data. Our analysis reveals a ``bi-modal shortcut phenomenon'' in joint modality integration and demonstrates that fine-grained clip-level modality masking mitigates this issue while outperforming sample-level modality selection. Extensive evaluations on 15 benchmarks show substantial gains in video, audio, and collaborative reasoning, validating OmniJigsaw as a scalable paradigm for self-supervised omni-modal learning.

TC-AE: Unlocking Token Capacity for Deep Compression Autoencoders

We propose TC-AE, a ViT-based architecture for deep compression autoencoders. Existing methods commonly increase the channel number of latent representations to maintain reconstruction quality under high compression ratios. However, this strategy often leads to latent representation collapse, which degrades generative performance. Instead of relying on increasingly complex architectures or multi-stage training schemes, TC-AE addresses this challenge from the perspective of the token space, the key bridge between pixels and image latents, through two complementary innovations: Firstly, we study token number scaling by adjusting the patch size in ViT under a fixed latent budget, and identify aggressive token-to-latent compression as the key factor that limits effective scaling. To address this issue, we decompose token-to-latent compression into two stages, reducing structural information loss and enabling effective token number scaling for generation. Secondly, to further mitigate latent representation collapse, we enhance the semantic structure of image tokens via joint self-supervised training, leading to more generative-friendly latents. With these designs, TC-AE achieves substantially improved reconstruction and generative performance under deep compression. We hope our research will advance ViT-based tokenizer for visual generation.

Efficient Self-Evaluation for Diffusion Language Models via Sequence Regeneration

Diffusion large language models (dLLMs) have recently attracted significant attention for their ability to enhance diversity, controllability, and parallelism. However, their non-sequential, bidirectionally masked generation makes quality assessment difficult, underscoring the need for effective self-evaluation. In this work, we propose DiSE, a simple yet effective self-evaluation confidence quantification method for dLLMs. DiSE quantifies confidence by computing the probability of regenerating the tokens in the entire generated sequence, given the full context. This method enables more efficient and reliable quality assessment by leveraging token regeneration probabilities, facilitating both likelihood estimation and robust uncertainty quantification. Building upon DiSE, we further introduce a flexible-length generation framework, which adaptively controls the sequence length based on the model's self-assessment of its own output. We analyze and validate the feasibility of DiSE from the perspective of dLLM generalization, and empirically demonstrate that DiSE is positively correlated with both semantic coherence and answer accuracy. Extensive experiments on likelihood evaluation, uncertainty quantification, and flexible-length generation further confirm the effectiveness of the proposed DiSE.

M$^2$: Dual-Memory Augmentation for Long-Horizon Web Agents via Trajectory Summarization and Insight Retrieval

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) based agents have demonstrated remarkable potential in autonomous web navigation. However, handling long-horizon tasks remains a critical bottleneck. Prevailing strategies often rely heavily on extensive data collection and model training, yet still struggle with high computational costs and insufficient reasoning capabilities when facing complex, long-horizon scenarios. To address this, we propose M$^2$, a training-free, memory-augmented framework designed to optimize context efficiency and decision-making robustness. Our approach incorporates a dual-tier memory mechanism that synergizes Dynamic Trajectory Summarization (Internal Memory) to compress verbose interaction history into concise state updates, and Insight Retrieval Augmentation (External Memory) to guide the agent with actionable guidelines retrieved from an offline insight bank. Extensive evaluations across WebVoyager and OnlineMind2Web demonstrate that M$^2$ consistently surpasses baselines, yielding up to a 19.6% success rate increase and 58.7% token reduction for Qwen3-VL-32B, while proprietary models like Claude achieve accuracy gains up to 12.5% alongside significantly lower computational overhead.

GeoMotion: Rethinking Motion Segmentation via Latent 4D Geometry

Motion segmentation in dynamic scenes is highly challenging, as conventional methods heavily rely on estimating camera poses and point correspondences from inherently noisy motion cues. Existing statistical inference or iterative optimization techniques that struggle to mitigate the cumulative errors in multi-stage pipelines often lead to limited performance or high computational cost. In contrast, we propose a fully learning-based approach that directly infers moving objects from latent feature representations via attention mechanisms, thus enabling end-to-end feed-forward motion segmentation. Our key insight is to bypass explicit correspondence estimation and instead let the model learn to implicitly disentangle object and camera motion. Supported by recent advances in 4D scene geometry reconstruction (e.g., $π^3$), the proposed method leverages reliable camera poses and rich spatial-temporal priors, which ensure stable training and robust inference for the model. Extensive experiments demonstrate that by eliminating complex pre-processing and iterative refinement, our approach achieves state-of-the-art motion segmentation performance with high efficiency.

Scalable Adaptation of 3D Geometric Foundation Models via Weak Supervision from Internet Video

Geometric foundation models show promise in 3D reconstruction, yet their progress is severely constrained by the scarcity of diverse, large-scale 3D annotations. While Internet videos offer virtually unlimited raw data, utilizing them as a scaling source for geometric learning is challenging due to the absence of ground-truth geometry and the presence of observational noise. To address this, we propose SAGE, a framework for Scalable Adaptation of GEometric foundation models from raw video streams. SAGE leverages a hierarchical mining pipeline to transform videos into training trajectories and hybrid supervision: (1) Informative training trajectory selection; (2) Sparse Geometric Anchoring via SfM point clouds for global structural guidance; and (3) Dense Differentiable Consistency via 3D Gaussian rendering for multi-view constraints. To prevent catastrophic forgetting, we introduce a regularization strategy using anchor data. Extensive experiments show that SAGE significantly enhances zero-shot generalization, reducing Chamfer Distance by 20-42% on unseen benchmarks (7Scenes, TUM-RGBD, Matterport3D) compared to state-of-the-art baselines. To our knowledge, SAGE pioneers the adaptation of geometric foundation models via Internet video, establishing a scalable paradigm for general-purpose 3D learning.

PIO-FVLM: Rethinking Training-Free Visual Token Reduction for VLM Acceleration from an Inference-Objective Perspective

Recently, reducing redundant visual tokens in vision-language models (VLMs) to accelerate VLM inference has emerged as a hot topic. However, most existing methods rely on heuristics constructed based on inter-visual-token similarity or cross-modal visual-text similarity, which gives rise to certain limitations in compression performance and practical deployment. In contrast, we propose PIO-FVLM from the perspective of inference objectives, which transforms visual token compression into preserving output result invariance and selects tokens primarily by their importance to this goal. Specially, vision tokens are reordered with the guidance of token-level gradient saliency generated by our designed layer-local proxy loss, a coarse constraint from the current layer to the final result. Then the most valuable vision tokens are selected following the non-maximum suppression (NMS) principle. The proposed PIO-FVLM is training-free and compatible with FlashAttention, friendly to practical application and deployment. It can be deployed independently as an encoder-free method, or combined with encoder compression approaches like VisionZip for use as an encoder-involved method. On LLaVA-Next-7B, PIO-FVLM retains just 11.1% of visual tokens but maintains 97.2% of the original performance, with a 2.67$\times$ prefill speedup, 2.11$\times$ inference speedup, 6.22$\times$ lower FLOPs, and 6.05$\times$ reduced KV Cache overhead.
