Abstract:This technical report introduces VibeThinker-3B, a compact dense model with 3B parameters developed to investigate how far verifiable reasoning can be pushed within a strictly small-model regime. Building upon the Spectrum-to-Signal post-training paradigm, we systematically enhance the model through an optimized pipeline that includes curriculum-based supervised fine-tuning, multi-domain reinforcement learning, and offline self-distillation. Experimental evaluations demonstrate that VibeThinker-3B achieves frontier-level performance on highly demanding verifiable tasks. Specifically, it attains a score of 94.3 on AIME26 (improving to 97.1 with claim-level test-time scaling), an 80.2 Pass@1 on LiveCodeBench v6, and exhibits strong out-of-distribution generalization with a 96.1\% acceptance rate on recent unseen LeetCode contests. This effectively places it in the performance band of first-tier reasoning systems, matching or exceeding flagship models that are orders of magnitude larger, such as DeepSeek V3.2, GLM-5, and Gemini 3 Pro. Furthermore, a score of 93.4 on IFEval confirms that this extreme reasoning enhancement does not compromise strict instruction controllability. Extending our previous 1.5B work, these findings motivate the Parametric Compression-Coverage Hypothesis, which views verifiable reasoning as compressible into compact reasoning cores, while open-domain knowledge and general-purpose competence require broad parameter coverage over facts, concepts, and long-tail scenarios. This perspective suggests that compact models are not merely deployment-efficient substitutes, but a complementary path toward frontier-level performance in parameter-dense capability regimes.
Abstract:In this paper, we propose the Enhanced World Action Model (EWAM), a closed-loop online adaptation architecture built upon a pretrained and fully frozen Cosmos3 backbone network. Evaluated entirely under a zero-shot task protocol, EWAM is centrally focused on reducing the amount of additional deployment data required to adapt to new task layouts. Notably, no extra task-specific demonstration sets were introduced in any of the evaluations, and no fine-tuning was performed on the backbone network. Its performance gains stem entirely from an inference-time co-reasoning mechanism composed of four inserted lightweight neural layers: the Neural Experience Memory Layer located in the intermediate layers of the Diffusion Transformer (DiT) provides task-relevant execution context; the Neural Anomaly Detection Layer after the state prediction head monitors the divergence between predicted and actual states in real time; the Neural Policy Routing Layer dynamically selects direct execution, conservative replanning, or rollback recovery based on the anomaly severity; and the Neural Action Correction Layer refines the generated action chunks using execution diagnostics. Unlike naive feature fusion, the memory, anomaly detection, and correction modules are deeply integrated into the Cosmos3 forward path in a differentiable manner, with only the final routing decision being a discrete supervised one.
Abstract:Embodied intelligence is often studied through specialized models for individual tasks such as manipulation or navigation, resulting in fragmented capabilities and limited generalization across tasks, environments, and robot embodiments. In this work, we study whether heterogeneous embodied decision-making problems can be unified within a single vision-language-action model. We present Qwen-VLA, a unified embodied foundation model that extends Qwen's vision-language modeling stack from perception, understanding, and reasoning to continuous action and trajectory generation through a DiT-based action decoder. Qwen-VLA is trained with a large-scale joint pretraining recipe over diverse data sources, including robotics manipulation trajectories, human egocentric demonstrations, synthetic simulation data, vision-and-language navigation data, trajectory-centric supervision, and auxiliary vision-language data. To support multiple robot platforms, we introduce embodiment-aware prompt conditioning, where robot-specific textual descriptions specify the current embodiment and control convention. We further cast manipulation, navigation, and trajectory prediction into a unified action-and-trajectory prediction framework, enabling transferable visual grounding, spatial reasoning, and continuous action generation across robot morphologies, task families, and environments. Experiments on manipulation, navigation, and trajectory-centric benchmarks show consistent multi-task performance and out-of-distribution generalization under variations in scene layout, background, lighting, object configuration, and robot embodiment. Qwen-VLA-Instruct achieves 97.9% on LIBERO, 73.7% on Simpler-WidowX, 86.1%/87.2% on RoboTwin-Easy/Hard, 69.0% OSR on R2R, 59.6% SR on RxR, 76.9% average OOD success in real-world ALOHA experiments, and 26.6% zero-shot success on DOMINO dynamic manipulation.
Abstract:In the field of Vision-Language Navigation (VLN), aerial datasets remain limited in their ability to combine scale, diversity, and realism, often relying on either costly real-world scenes or visually limited simulations. To address these challenges, we introduce FlyMirage, a highly scalable and fully automated data generation pipeline for aerial VLN. Our approach leverages large language models (LLM) as an environment designer to promote scene diversity, paired with a generative world model that instantiates these designs into high-fidelity 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) scenes. To substantially reduce human labor and ensure the feasibility of flight data, FlyMirage automates scene exploration and semantic information acquisition, and further integrates a dynamically feasible planner for uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) trajectory generation. Utilizing this toolchain, we generate a large-scale, diverse, and photorealistic aerial VLN dataset, with dynamically feasible flying trajectories, designed to support the development of next-generation embodied navigation models.
Abstract:While reasoning has become a central capability of large language models (LLMs), the reasoning patterns required for different scenarios are often misaligned. Mathematical reasoning typically relies on intrinsic logic to solve closed-world problems in a single response, whereas agentic reasoning requires not only internal reasoning but also multi-turn interaction with external environments, interleaving thought and action. This misalignment prevents mathematical and agentic reasoning from effectively benefiting from each other, often yielding unstable reasoning behavior and only limited performance gains under multi-task learning. In this paper, we propose M2A, a novel paradigm that synergizes mathematical and agentic reasoning via model merging. To avoid overfitting to superficial reasoning patterns under joint training, M2A operates directly in parameter space: it identifies the feature subspace critical for agent behavior, and merges the mathematical reasoning task vector only along its null space, thereby injecting reasoning capability along directions that do not perturb agent behavior. Unlike SFT or RL, M2A requires no additional gradient-update and exposes the merging coefficient as a simple knob for controlling reasoning length. Experiments in a challenging real-world coding agent setting show that our method effectively extends agentic reasoning depth and delivers substantial performance improvements. Applied to a fine-tuned Qwen3-8B, M2A improves its SWE-Bench Verified resolved rate from 44.0% to 51.2% without retraining the model. Code is available at https://github.com/laplucky/M2A.git.
Abstract:Emerging multi-modal world models attempt to jointly generate videos across diverse modalities (e.g., RGB, depth, and mask), yet they fail to fully exploit the rich priors of existing foundation models. We propose $M^2$-REPA, the first representation alignment method tailored for multi-modal video generation. Our key insight is that foundation models trained on different modality spaces naturally capture distinct domain-specific priors, acting as complementary "experts." Specifically, we first decouple modality-specific features from the diffusion model's intermediate representations, then align each with its corresponding expert foundation model. To this end, we design two synergistic objectives: a multi-modal representation alignment loss that enforces feature-to-expert matching, and a modality-specific decoupling regularization that encourages complementarity across different modalities. This design enables joint optimization, fully exploiting priors from multiple foundation models. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method significantly outperforms baselines in visual quality and long-term consistency.
Abstract:Social interactions dominate our perceptions of the world and shape our daily behavior by attaching social meaning to acts as simple and spontaneous as gestures, facial expressions, voice, and speech. People mimic and otherwise respond to each other's postures, facial expressions, mannerisms, and other verbal and nonverbal behavior, and form appraisals or evaluations in the process. Yet, no publicly-available dataset includes multimodal recordings and self-report measures of multiple persons in social interaction. Dyadic recordings and annotation are lacking. We present a new data corpus of multimodal dyadic interaction (45 dyads, 90 persons) that includes synchronized multi-modality behavior (2D face video, 3D face geometry, thermal spectrum dynamics, voice and speech behavior, physiology (PPG, EDA, heart-rate, blood pressure, and respiration), and self-reported affect of all participants in a communicative interaction scenario. Two types of dyads are included: persons with shared past history and strangers. Annotations include social signals, agreement, disagreement, and neutral stance. With a potent emotion induction, these multimodal data will enable novel modeling of multimodal interpersonal behavior. We present extensive experiments to evaluate multimodal dyadic communication of dyads with and without interpersonal history, and their affect. This new database will make multimodal modeling of social interaction never possible before. The dataset includes 20TB of multimodal data to share with the research community.
Abstract:The rapid iteration of autonomous driving algorithms has created a growing demand for high-fidelity, replayable, and diagnosable testing data. However, many public datasets lack real vehicle dynamics feedback and closed-loop interaction with surrounding traffic and road infrastructure, limiting their ability to reflect deployment readiness. To address this gap, we present OVPD (OnSite Virtual-Physical Dataset), a virtual-physical fusion testing dataset released from the 2025 OnSite Autonomous Driving Challenge. Centered on real-vehicle-in-the-loop testing, OVPD integrates virtual background traffic with vehicle-infrastructure perception to build controllable and interactive closed-loop test environments on a proving ground. The dataset contains 20 testing clips from 20 teams over a scenario chain of 15 atomic scenarios, totaling nearly 3 hours of multi-modal data, including vehicle trajectories and states, control commands, and digital-twin-rendered surround-view observations. OVPD supports long-tail planning and decision-making validation, open-loop or platform-enabled closed-loop evaluation, and comprehensive assessment across safety, efficiency, comfort, rule compliance, and traffic impact, providing actionable evidence for failure diagnosis and iterative improvement.

Abstract:Text-to-video diffusion models have enabled open-ended video synthesis, but often struggle with generating the correct number of objects specified in a prompt. We introduce NUMINA , a training-free identify-then-guide framework for improved numerical alignment. NUMINA identifies prompt-layout inconsistencies by selecting discriminative self- and cross-attention heads to derive a countable latent layout. It then refines this layout conservatively and modulates cross-attention to guide regeneration. On the introduced CountBench, NUMINA improves counting accuracy by up to 7.4% on Wan2.1-1.3B, and by 4.9% and 5.5% on 5B and 14B models, respectively. Furthermore, CLIP alignment is improved while maintaining temporal consistency. These results demonstrate that structural guidance complements seed search and prompt enhancement, offering a practical path toward count-accurate text-to-video diffusion.

Abstract:Scene-level point cloud understanding remains challenging due to diverse geometries, imbalanced category distributions, and highly varied spatial layouts. Existing methods improve object-level performance but rely on static network parameters during inference, limiting their adaptability to dynamic scene data. We propose PointTPA, a Test-time Parameter Adaptation framework that generates input-aware network parameters for scene-level point clouds. PointTPA adopts a Serialization-based Neighborhood Grouping (SNG) to form locally coherent patches and a Dynamic Parameter Projector (DPP) to produce patch-wise adaptive weights, enabling the backbone to adjust its behavior according to scene-specific variations while maintaining a low parameter overhead. Integrated into the PTv3 structure, PointTPA demonstrates strong parameter efficiency by introducing two lightweight modules of less than 2% of the backbone's parameters. Despite this minimal parameter overhead, PointTPA achieves 78.4% mIoU on ScanNet validation, surpassing existing parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) methods across multiple benchmarks, highlighting the efficacy of our test-time dynamic network parameter adaptation mechanism in enhancing 3D scene understanding.
