MoRoute: Dynamic Routing for In-Context Multimodal Video Generation

Multimodal video generation aims to generate and edit videos conditioned on arbitrary combinations of text, images, and videos within a single model, allowing diverse tasks to share complementary data and generative priors. Unifying these tasks requires multimodal understanding of diverse conditions, which is typically provided by a pretrained vision-language model (VLM). A key challenge is how to connect the VLM's hierarchical multimodal representations with a pretrained video diffusion transformer (DiT). Existing methods either inject features from only the final or a few manually selected VLM layers, or jointly train architecture-matched understanding and generation streams, making it difficult to reuse heterogeneous pretrained backbones. We introduce MoRoute, a unified multimodal video generation framework that formulates a frozen VLM and a pretrained video DiT with different architectures as heterogeneous experts connected through dynamic layer routing. For each input, a lightweight block-wise router enables every DiT block to select the VLM layer most relevant to its generation stage, thereby learning an adaptive correspondence between multimodal understanding and video synthesis. MoRoute further incorporates reference images and source videos directly into the DiT token sequence through unified in-context conditioning, preserving fine-grained visual details across diverse generation and editing tasks. Experiments on IntelligentVBench, OpenVE-Bench, and RefVIE-Bench show that MoRoute consistently surpasses the best competing method on each benchmark, improving the average score by 0.15, 0.18, and 0.34 on a 1-5 scale, respectively.

AdaAnchor4D: Anchor-Conditioned Spatiotemporal Feature Aggregation for Monocular UAV 4D Reconstruction

Monocular UAV videos provide valuable observations for dynamic reconstruction of complex urban scenes. However, such scenes exhibit pronounced spatiotemporal heterogeneity: different regions follow distinct temporal activity patterns, while the motion states of some dynamic regions may further evolve over time. Although dynamic Gaussian methods based on decomposed shared spatiotemporal feature fields have achieved efficient and accurate reconstruction in object-centric or relatively compact scenes, their commonly adopted fixed plane-wise feature combination mechanisms are less suited to the heterogeneous local dynamics of UAV scenes, often leading to ghosting artifacts and blurred dynamic details. To address this challenge, we propose AdaAnchor4D, an adaptive anchor deformation framework for monocular UAV dynamic scene reconstruction. At its core, Anchor-Conditioned Feature Aggregation (ACFA) adaptively aggregates shared spatiotemporal features using anchor-specific aggregation embeddings and temporal information, allowing different local units to obtain dynamic representations tailored to their local and temporal states. Decoupled Local Geometry Deformation (DLGD) separates anchor-state deformation from local Gaussian geometry deformation, while Density-Adaptive Coordinate Warping (DACW) reparameterizes feature-query coordinates according to the axis-wise anchor distributions, alleviating the mismatch between non-uniform geometric sampling and uniform grid parameterization. Experiments on UAV-Arc4D, VisDrone, and UAVDT show that AdaAnchor4D achieves higher rendering quality than representative dynamic Gaussian methods while maintaining real-time rendering performance. The code will be made publicly available.

PhoenixRepair: Rethinking Repair Strategy Exploration in Software Agents

While Large Language Models have greatly advanced automated issue resolution, existing agent-based methods exhibit a fundamental limitation in their insufficient exploration of repair strategies. This insufficiency manifests in two key aspects. First, the exploration of multiple potential edit locations is limited. Second, the exploration of repair attempts at each location is also insufficient. To address these challenges, we present PhoenixRepair, a multi-agent framework that systematically explores multiple candidate edit locations and performs iterative reflection and refinement on patch generation, thereby expanding the search space of repair strategies. Our framework begins with multi-location sampling, optionally augmented with graph-based localization information for difficult tasks, followed by iterative reflection and refinement to generate better patches, culminating in final-round generation guided by distilled insights from all historical attempts. Experiments on SWE-bench-Verified demonstrate that PhoenixRepair achieves the largest relative improvement of 7.8\% over SWE-agent under DeepSeek-V3.1, and attains the highest resolved rate of 76.0\% Pass@1 under MiniMax-M2.5. Meanwhile, it achieves higher fault localization accuracy than existing approaches. Our code is available at https://github.com/DeepSoftwareAnalytics/PhoenixRepair.

ARDepth: Auto-regressive Monocular Depth Estimation with Progressive Visual Conditioning

Diffusion models have recently become the dominant paradigm for monocular depth estimation (MDE). However, they implicitly assume that depth can be recovered as a globally smooth field through iterative denoising, which does not explicitly reflect the piecewise and scale-dependent organization of scene geometry. In practice, geometric structure emerges progressively across spatial scales, where coarse layout, surfaces, and boundaries are constructed in a hierarchical manner. Motivated by this observation, we introduce ARDepth, which formulates depth estimation as structured auto-regressive generation. Instead of recovering depth through global refinement, ARDepth progressively constructs depth representations as spatial resolution increases. To support this generative process, we introduce Scale-Progressive Conditioning (SPC) to inject multi-scale visual features at each generation stage, and Semantic-Aware Guidance (SAG) to provide scene-level semantic priors that enhance global structural consistency. Together, these designs enable the model to capture fine-grained local details while maintaining coherent global geometry. Empirical results demonstrate that our approach achieves strong performance and produces structurally consistent depth predictions across scales, validating auto-regressive generation as a promising alternative paradigm for geometric modeling.

In-Context Model Predictive Generation: Open-Vocabulary Motion Synthesis from Language Models to Physics

Synthesizing human motion from textual descriptions is essential for immersive digital applications, yet existing methods face a persistent trade-off between semantic fidelity and physical realism. Large language model (LLM)-based approaches can interpret diverse open-vocabulary instructions and compose high-level action plans, but they often generate motions that violate physical constraints. Physics-aware models improve realism through simulation or control, but they struggle with semantic complexity, fine-grained instructions, and novel concepts. To address this gap, we propose In-Context Model Predictive Generation (ICMPG), a framework that integrates language-model planning with inference-time physical feedback. ICMPG reformulates motion synthesis as a Model Predictive Control (MPC)-like process with two modules. The Context-Aware Motion Generation (CAMG) module uses an LLM as a planner to decompose textual commands and generate candidate motion sequences from motion tokens. The Model Predictive Generation (MPG) module evaluates these candidates through physical simulation and semantic alignment, estimates a composite reward, and selects the best sequence to guide subsequent generation steps. Unlike open-loop generation, this closed-loop refinement enables ICMPG to adapt motions to both the input semantics and the simulated physical environment without task-specific policy retraining. Extensive experiments across standard and zero-shot open-vocabulary settings show that ICMPG generalizes robustly to diverse commands and produces motions that are more physically plausible and semantically faithful than representative baselines on the evaluated benchmarks. The framework bridges semantic interpretation and physical simulation while remaining flexible enough to incorporate different LLM backbones, enabling more versatile and controllable text-driven motion synthesis.

RealityBridge: Bridging Editable 3D Gaussian Splatting Driving Simulations and Real-World Videos

Long-tail hazardous scenarios are essential for safety-oriented autonomous driving, yet they are difficult to collect and reproduce at scale. Editable 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) simulation offers a promising alternative by reconstructing real driving scenes and supporting controllable scene editing. However, edited 3DGS-rendered videos still suffer from a significant Sim-to-Real gap, including rendering artifacts, degraded foreground assets, inconsistent illumination, and temporal flickering. Existing restoration and video generation methods are insufficient for this task, as they often fail to jointly repair 3DGS-specific artifacts, improve visual realism, and ensure temporal consistency. To fill this gap, we propose RealityBridge, a structure-preserving and asset-aware Sim-to-Real framework for edited 3DGS driving videos. RealityBridge uses multimodal controls, including rendered videos, foreground masks, edge maps, and semantic masks, together with a lightweight GateNet for adaptive condition allocation across backbone layers. We further construct targeted training data and introduce autoregressive long-video training with reward-guided post-training to improve restoration quality, temporal stability, and hallucination suppression. Extensive experiments on internal and public driving datasets show that RealityBridge outperforms existing methods in artifact removal, illumination harmonization, and long-sequence temporal consistency.

Bridging the Agent-World Gap: Text World Models for LLM-based Agents

Large language model (LLM)-based agents are increasingly used in interactive textual environments, from web navigation and code editing to tool use and long-horizon dialogue. Yet many remain largely reactive, mapping observations to actions without an explicit model of how these environments are structured and evolve. This motivates text world models (TWMs): transition models over textual states that, given a state and a candidate action, predict the resulting webpage, terminal output, API response, or user reply, thereby supporting planning, efficient learning, and principled evaluation. We systematically review text world models for LLM-based agents, organized around a formal framework and the agent lifecycle: (1) Foundations, defining text world models and characterizing them by state representation and grounding domain; (2) Construction, taxonomizing LLM-as-WM and code-as-WM paradigms and reviewing methods for building them; (3) Application, examining how world models support agents at training time through experience synthesis and at inference time through planning, verification, and adaptation; and (4) Evaluation, covering both evaluation of the world model itself and its use as an evaluation environment for agents. We aim to consolidate this rapidly developing area, clarify its design space, and highlight open challenges for future research.

PhyScene3D: Physically Consistent Interactive 3D Tabletop Scene Generation

Generating physically consistent 3D tabletop scenes is a fundamental yet underexplored problem for interactive and generalist robotic learning. The challenge stems from dense object hierarchies and irregular affordances. Here, an interactive scene denotes a physically valid, collision-free environment directly loadable into physics simulators. Existing methods, ranging from decoupled symbolic solvers to end-to-end regression models, often suffer from error propagation or overfitting to noisy supervision containing widespread physical violations. To address these limitations, we introduce PhyScene3D, a framework that reformulates generation as a Human-Mimetic Constructive Process. The proposed Cognitive Topological Reasoning Chain (CTRC) factorizes scene synthesis into a sequential, anchor-conditioned process. It employs a 3D AABB-based placement scheme that imposes a strong structural inductive bias. To address imperfect supervision and physical infeasibility, we introduce Physics-Aware Denoising Alignment (PADA). It integrates a differentiable Signed Distance Field (SDF) with Test-Time Optimization (TTO) to project generated scenes onto a physics-feasible manifold while preserving semantic intent. Experiments demonstrate that PhyScene3D outperforms state-of-the-art approaches in both semantic accuracy and physical validity, achieving a 40% reduction in scene-wise collision rate relative to the human-annotated training data.

Non-Forgetting Knowledge Allocation with Bi-level Competition for Class-Incremental Learning

Class-Incremental Learning (CIL) with pre-trained models (PTMs) aims to sequentially adapt PTMs to new categories without forgetting old knowledge. Built upon PTMs, existing adapter-based methods mainly train models via distinct task-specific adapters, and present a uniform knowledge allocation for each adapter during inference. However, this allocation mechanism ignores the nature of task discrepancy and leads to suboptimal utilization of adapters. Also, under CIL constraint, an allocator is prone to forgetting when tasks evolve. To address these issues, we propose a Non-Forgetting Allocation with Bi-Level Competition (NoFA-BC). NoFA-BC constructs a non-forgetting allocator (NFA) by transforming the allocator training into a recursive least-squares problem and achieves an allocator equivalent to that trained with all data. Based on the NFA, a Bi-Level Competition (BLC) including an intra-task level Winner-Takes-All (WTA) mechanism and inter-task Last-Ones-Fall (LOF) elimination is proposed to provide better allocation of adapter knowledge. WTA extracts the most significant logit within a task to represent the adapter's contribution and LOF suppresses the irrelevant adapters. With BLC, participation ratio of each adapter can be tailored for each input. Moreover, a Stability Enhancement (SE) process is incorporated to further improve the performance of old tasks.

Self-Prophetic Decoding to Unlock Visual Search in LVLMs

Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) are rapidly evolving toward true multimodal reasoning, with visual search representing a concrete instantiation of the thinking-with-images paradigm. However, LVLM visual search faces two key challenges: incompatibility among intrinsic capabilities after post-training, and interference in long multi-step reasoning contexts. To address these, we identify two novel insights. First, self-regulation between pre- and post-training LVLMs leverages the intrinsic single-step capabilities of the pre-training model to mitigate capability deterioration and long-context interference. Second, probability-based prophetic sampling, replacing naive prompting, provides a probabilistic interface where the pre-training model acts as a prophet and the post-training model selectively accepts prophetic tokens under its output distribution, preserving coherent multi-step reasoning. Building on these insights, we introduce SeProD, a self-prophetic decoding framework that leverages intrinsic single-step capabilities to enable coherent multi-step reasoning in a training-free, plug-and-play manner. Experiments show that SeProD consistently improves multiple visual-search LVLMs across all 12 splits of 4 visual search benchmarks, as well as across general VQA benchmarks, without added computational overhead, thanks to its parallel prophetic acceptance mechanism.
