Geometry-Aware Spatio-Temporal Context Modeling for 4D Occupancy Forecasting

4D occupancy forecasting models the spatio-temporal evolution of 3D scenes and is crucial for autonomous driving, especially for corner-case simulation. Existing methods often rely on discrete tokenization followed by autoregressive prediction, yet struggle with geometric distortion in static structures and inconsistent temporal coherence over the forecasting horizon. In this work, we propose a Geometry-Aware Spatio-Temporal context modeling method (GAST) for 4D occupancy forecasting, built upon progressive explicit-implicit generation and dual-path spatio-temporal modeling. Specifically, the generation module produces per-frame occupancy with high geometric fidelity and semantic plausibility through pose-driven warping, motion-aware feature modulation, and attention-based feature refinement. Subsequently, the spatio-temporal module enhances spatial consistency through global context aggregation while capturing scene evolution through temporal dynamics extraction. This unified design enables joint optimization of historical reconstruction and future forecasting in an end-to-end manner. Extensive experiments on Occ3D-nuScenes demonstrate the superiority of our method, outperforming the state-of-the-art by 7.67% in mIoU and 6.44% in IoU with a 2.84x speedup, while maintaining strong performance in long-term forecasting.

Semantic Occupancy Prediction with Dual Range-Voxel Representation

LiDAR-based 3D semantic occupancy prediction, which aims to provide accurate and comprehensive scene representation, is crucial for autonomous driving systems. As point clouds suffer from sparsity and incompleteness, leading to insufficient semantic learning and difficult occupancy perception, existing methods often stack multi-sweep point clouds to obtain dense spatial information. However, such a naive strategy also results in efficiency (e.g., additional computational burden) and robustness (e.g., pose transformation noise) concerns, which hinder their practical applications. In this work, we propose a Dual Range-Voxel Representation (DRVR) that leverages the range-view context and voxel-view geometry of single-sweep point clouds for 3D semantic occupancy prediction, eliminating the concerns associated with the multi-sweeps. Specifically, we use the range-view encoder to extract the compact context of the scene. To fully exploit the spatial information, we design a geometry-aware voxel-view encoder that extracts multi-scale voxel-view features separately and combines them for better geometric occupancy prediction. Moreover, we propose a range-voxel fusion module to cooperate range- and voxel-view features via voxel-to-range and range-to-voxel fusions. Extensive experiments on nuScenes-Occupancy, SemanticKITTI and SemanticPOSS show the superiority of our method. Especially on nuScenes-Occupancy, our single-sweep DRVR achieves 5.4% improvement in mIoU and 2.1x acceleration compared to the multi-sweep method.

Intern-S1-Pro: Scientific Multimodal Foundation Model at Trillion Scale

We introduce Intern-S1-Pro, the first one-trillion-parameter scientific multimodal foundation model. Scaling to this unprecedented size, the model delivers a comprehensive enhancement across both general and scientific domains. Beyond stronger reasoning and image-text understanding capabilities, its intelligence is augmented with advanced agent capabilities. Simultaneously, its scientific expertise has been vastly expanded to master over 100 specialized tasks across critical science fields, including chemistry, materials, life sciences, and earth sciences. Achieving this massive scale is made possible by the robust infrastructure support of XTuner and LMDeploy, which facilitates highly efficient Reinforcement Learning (RL) training at the 1-trillion parameter level while ensuring strict precision consistency between training and inference. By seamlessly integrating these advancements, Intern-S1-Pro further fortifies the fusion of general and specialized intelligence, working as a Specializable Generalist, demonstrating its position in the top tier of open-source models for general capabilities, while outperforming proprietary models in the depth of specialized scientific tasks.

InternVL-U: Democratizing Unified Multimodal Models for Understanding, Reasoning, Generation and Editing

Unified multimodal models (UMMs) that integrate understanding, reasoning, generation, and editing face inherent trade-offs between maintaining strong semantic comprehension and acquiring powerful generation capabilities. In this report, we present InternVL-U, a lightweight 4B-parameter UMM that democratizes these capabilities within a unified framework. Guided by the principles of unified contextual modeling and modality-specific modular design with decoupled visual representations, InternVL-U integrates a state-of-the-art Multimodal Large Language Model (MLLM) with a specialized MMDiT-based visual generation head. To further bridge the gap between aesthetic generation and high-level intelligence, we construct a comprehensive data synthesis pipeline targeting high-semantic-density tasks, such as text rendering and scientific reasoning, under a reasoning-centric paradigm that leverages Chain-of-Thought (CoT) to better align abstract user intent with fine-grained visual generation details. Extensive experiments demonstrate that InternVL-U achieves a superior performance - efficiency balance. Despite using only 4B parameters, it consistently outperforms unified baseline models with over 3x larger scales such as BAGEL (14B) on various generation and editing tasks, while retaining strong multimodal understanding and reasoning capabilities.

Robust 3D Semantic Occupancy Prediction with Calibration-free Spatial Transformation

3D semantic occupancy prediction, which seeks to provide accurate and comprehensive representations of environment scenes, is important to autonomous driving systems. For autonomous cars equipped with multi-camera and LiDAR, it is critical to aggregate multi-sensor information into a unified 3D space for accurate and robust predictions. Recent methods are mainly built on the 2D-to-3D transformation that relies on sensor calibration to project the 2D image information into the 3D space. These methods, however, suffer from two major limitations: First, they rely on accurate sensor calibration and are sensitive to the calibration noise, which limits their application in real complex environments. Second, the spatial transformation layers are computationally expensive and limit their running on an autonomous vehicle. In this work, we attempt to exploit a Robust and Efficient 3D semantic Occupancy (REO) prediction scheme. To this end, we propose a calibration-free spatial transformation based on vanilla attention to implicitly model the spatial correspondence. In this way, we robustly project the 2D features to a predefined BEV plane without using sensor calibration as input. Then, we introduce 2D and 3D auxiliary training tasks to enhance the discrimination power of 2D backbones on spatial, semantic, and texture features. Last, we propose a query-based prediction scheme to efficiently generate large-scale fine-grained occupancy predictions. By fusing point clouds that provide complementary spatial information, our REO surpasses the existing methods by a large margin on three benchmarks, including OpenOccupancy, Occ3D-nuScenes, and SemanticKITTI Scene Completion. For instance, our REO achieves 19.8$\times$ speedup compared to Co-Occ, with 1.1 improvements in geometry IoU on OpenOccupancy. Our code will be available at https://github.com/ICEORY/REO.
