EOVSAM: Efficient Open-Vocabulary Segmentation with SAM 3 in One Pass

Open-vocabulary segmentation identifies and segments objects from arbitrary textual descriptions. SAM 3 supports noun-phrase-guided segmentation and achieves competitive open-vocabulary performance through exhaustive vocabulary traversal, yet suffers from prohibitive computational overhead as target categories scale. In this paper, we propose an Efficient Open-Vocabulary segmentation framework with SAM 3 (EOVSAM), which adapts SAM 3 for single-pass prediction. EOVSAM removes prompt conditioning to turn SAM 3 into an efficient mask generator and introduces a new Attentional Aggregation strategy to optimize open-vocabulary classification end-to-end. This formulation avoids the multi-stage pipelines and post-processing heuristics commonly used by existing methods, while mitigating the closed-set collapse that can arise when classification is optimized directly. EOVSAM consistently improves segmentation accuracy over vanilla SAM 3 on all evaluated datasets and accelerates inference by up to 338$\times$. Furthermore, EOVSAM maintains high accuracy at lower resolutions while achieving even more remarkable inference speeds. Experiments on standard semantic and panoptic segmentation benchmarks show that EOVSAM combines competitive or state-of-the-art accuracy with a substantial speed advantage over existing open-vocabulary segmentation models.

StructGen: Disambiguating Multi-Reference Image Generation via Structured Context Modeling

Multi-reference image generation aims to synthesize images by integrating attributes from multiple reference images under textual instructions. As the number of references increases, the task necessitates complex semantic comprehension, such as correctly associating attributes with the intended subjects and planing out coherent spatial arrangement between subjects and their environments. Existing approaches, which rely solely on natural language instruction, often fail to capture these complex intentions precisely, leading to semantic misalignment and inconsistent generation. We identify two key factors behind these limitations: natural language instructions are often verbose and ambiguous, and high-quality multi-reference data is scarce. To address these issues, we propose StructGen, which employs a structured, dictionary-like format to encode multiple reference images, thereby enabling explicit and unambiguous specification of generation intentions. To support this design, we construct a structured dataset based on high-quality real images and develop a corresponding training framework, along with a dedicated benchmark for challenging multi-reference scenarios. Extensive experiments on both public benchmarks and our proposed benchmark demonstrate that StructGen consistently outperforms existing methods on both semantic alignment and detailed reference-generation consistency, especially under complex instructions with multiple references.

UniVR: Thinking in Visual Space for Unified Visual Reasoning

Learning broad world knowledge directly from raw visual data is a fundamental capability of intelligence. We introduce UniVR, the first investigation into simultaneously learning complex reasoning, fine-grained physical dynamics, and long-term planning from pure visual demonstrations. At its core, UniVR features VR-GRPO, a reinforcement learning paradigm with complementary global and step-level rewards. This approach enforces logical coherence and physical consistency throughout the reasoning process without requiring task-specific heuristics or image-text pairs. To train and evaluate UniVR, we construct VR-X, a large-scale benchmark curated from 16 diverse sources spanning long-horizon manipulation, spatial puzzles, and physical reasoning. It is the first comprehensive suite to assess these heterogeneous capabilities under a purely visual protocol. Remarkably, UniVR achieves up to a 25% improvement on VR-X, and its superior visual reasoning also boosts performance on various multimodal understanding benchmarks. These findings underscore the vast potential of reasoning within visual spaces, with all code, data, and models are open-sourced for further research.

Orca: The World is in Your Mind

We introduce Orca, an initial instantiation of a general world foundation model. Orca learns a unified world latent space from multimodal world signals and exposes it through multimodal readout interfaces. Rather than optimizing isolated next-token, next-frame, or next-action prediction, we are centered on Next-State-Prediction modeling, offering a unified state-transition modeling route toward understanding, predicting, and acting upon the world. Orca learns through two complementary paradigms: unconscious learning captures dense natural state transitions from continuous videos, and conscious learning models sparse meaningful state transitions by language-described events and VQA supervision. For pre-training, we construct a large-scale world-learning inventory data, including 125K hours of video data and 160M event annotations. After pre-training, Orca learns a unified world latent space. To examine whether the learned latent supports downstream, we evaluate it by three representative downstream readouts: text generation, image prediction, and embodied action generation. Orca's backbone is frozen, and only the lightweight modality-specific decoders are trainable. Experiments show the scalability of the proposed paradigm and verify that stronger world latent enables stronger downstream readouts. Orca outperforms similar-sized specialized baselines. These results show that Orca, as a general world foundation model, presents a promising approach to understanding, predicting, and acting upon the world. Finally, we discuss the current limitations, aiming to provide useful insights and inspiration for the community.

Claw-SWE-Bench: A Benchmark for Evaluating OpenClaw-style Agent Harnesses on Coding Tasks

General-purpose agents such as OpenClaw are increasingly used as autonomous tool users, but their coding ability is difficult to measure under SWE-bench: a generic agent does not by itself satisfy the clean Docker workspace, patch, and prediction contract required for scoring. We introduce Claw-SWE-Bench, a multilingual SWE-bench-style benchmark and adapter protocol that makes heterogeneous agent harnesses, or claws, comparable under fair settings including a fixed prompt, runtime budget, workspace contract, patch extraction procedure, and evaluator. The full benchmark contains 350 GitHub issue-resolution instances across 8 languages and 43 repositories, drawn from SWE-bench-Multilingual and SWE-bench-Verified-Mini after future-commit cleanup. We also release Claw-SWE-Bench Lite for faster validation, which is an 80-instance subset selected by a cost-aware, rank-aware procedure over 17 calibration columns. On the full benchmark, OpenClaw with a minimal direct-diff adapter scores only $19.1\%$ Pass@1, whereas the full adapter reaches $73.4\%$ with the same GLM 5.1 backbone, showing that adapter design is essential for enabling OpenClaw-style harnesses to perform coding tasks effectively. Across an OpenClaw $\times$ nine-model sweep and a five-claw $\times$ two-model sweep, model choice changes Pass@1 by $29.4$ pp and harness choice by $27.4$ pp under fixed models; systems with similar accuracy can differ substantially in total API cost. Claw-SWE-Bench therefore treats harness and cost accounting as first-class axes of SWE-style coding-agent evaluation, providing both a full benchmark and a low-cost reference set for reproducible comparison.

FlowSeg: Dynamic Semantic Guidance for LLM-Conditioned Segmentation

LLM-conditioned segmentation has recently advanced rapidly by coupling large language models with iterative mask generation frameworks. However, we identify a persistent failure mode in current propose-then-select pipelines. Although high-quality mask candidates are often generated, the final prediction may fail to match the given linguistic condition. This failure arises because language semantics are typically used as static prompts or post-hoc matching signals, rather than participating in the iterative mask generation process. Through systematic analysis, we show that many errors stem from semantic misalignment rather than poor mask quality. To address this issue, we propose FlowSeg, which introduces dynamic semantic guidance via a bidirectional semantic flow between intermediate decoding states and LLM-derived condition embeddings throughout the generation process. Language conditions actively guide mask refinement at each stage, while condition embeddings are progressively updated by emerging visual evidence. This design yields semantically grounded mask representations and visually aligned language conditions, enabling more reliable matching. We further incorporate a lightweight boundary-aware refinement to selectively enhance uncertain regions without perturbing confident interiors. Extensive experiments on referring expression segmentation and reasoning segmentation tasks demonstrate that FlowSeg consistently improves language-mask alignment and achieves state-of-the-art performance.

TextSculptor: Training and Benchmarking Scene Text Editing

Recent advances in Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) and diffusion-based generative models have substantially improved prompt-driven image editing. However, scene text editing remains challenging, as it requires models to precisely modify textual content while preserving visual realism and non-target regions. Current open-source models still lag behind proprietary systems, largely due to the scarcity of high-quality training data and the lack of standardized benchmarks tailored to text editing. To address these challenges, we present TextSculptor, a comprehensive framework for data construction and evaluation of scene text editing. We first develop an automated data construction pipeline that combines text-aware image synthesis with programmatic text rendering and compositing. Based on this pipeline, we build TextSculpt-Data, a large-scale dataset containing 3.2M training samples, including 1.2M OCR-verified text-to-image samples and 2M paired text editing samples with naturally aligned source-target images and strong background consistency. We further introduce TextSculpt-Bench, a benchmark covering four fundamental text editing tasks: text addition, text replacement, text removal, and hybrid editing. To support reliable evaluation, we design a tailored protocol that measures text accuracy, visual quality, and background preservation through OCR-based text alignment, multimodal judgment, and background-region similarity. Extensive experiments show that TextSculptor improves open-source text editing performance and narrows the gap to proprietary models. The data and benchmark are available at https://github.com/linyiheng123/TextSculptor.

CutClaw: Agentic Hours-Long Video Editing via Music Synchronization

Editing the video content with audio alignment forms a digital human-made art in current social media. However, the time-consuming and repetitive nature of manual video editing has long been a challenge for filmmakers and professional content creators alike. In this paper, we introduce CutClaw, an autonomous multi-agent framework designed to edit hours-long raw footage into meaningful short videos that leverages the capabilities of multiple Multimodal Language Models~(MLLMs) as an agent system. It produces videos with synchronized music, followed by instructions, and a visually appealing appearance. In detail, our approach begins by employing a hierarchical multimodal decomposition that captures both fine-grained details and global structures across visual and audio footage. Then, to ensure narrative consistency, a Playwriter Agent orchestrates the whole storytelling flow and structures the long-term narrative, anchoring visual scenes to musical shifts. Finally, to construct a short edited video, Editor and Reviewer Agents collaboratively optimize the final cut via selecting fine-grained visual content based on rigorous aesthetic and semantic criteria. We conduct detailed experiments to demonstrate that CutClaw significantly outperforms state-of-the-art baselines in generating high-quality, rhythm-aligned videos. The code is available at: https://github.com/GVCLab/CutClaw.

Rethinking MLLM Itself as a Segmenter with a Single Segmentation Token

Recent segmentation methods leveraging Multi-modal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have shown reliable object-level segmentation and enhanced spatial perception. However, almost all previous methods predominantly rely on specialist mask decoders to interpret masks from generated segmentation-related embeddings and visual features, or incorporate multiple additional tokens to assist. This paper aims to investigate whether and how we can unlock segmentation from MLLM itSELF with 1 segmentation Embedding (SELF1E) while achieving competitive results, which eliminates the need for external decoders. To this end, our approach targets the fundamental limitation of resolution reduction in pixel-shuffled image features from MLLMs. First, we retain image features at their original uncompressed resolution, and refill them with residual features extracted from MLLM-processed compressed features, thereby improving feature precision. Subsequently, we integrate pixel-unshuffle operations on image features with and without LLM processing, respectively, to unleash the details of compressed features and amplify the residual features under uncompressed resolution, which further enhances the resolution of refilled features. Moreover, we redesign the attention mask with dual perception pathways, i.e., image-to-image and image-to-segmentation, enabling rich feature interaction between pixels and the segmentation token. Comprehensive experiments across multiple segmentation tasks validate that SELF1E achieves performance competitive with specialist mask decoder-based methods, demonstrating the feasibility of decoder-free segmentation in MLLMs. Project page: https://github.com/ANDYZAQ/SELF1E.

Geometry-Guided Reinforcement Learning for Multi-view Consistent 3D Scene Editing

Leveraging the priors of 2D diffusion models for 3D editing has emerged as a promising paradigm. However, maintaining multi-view consistency in edited results remains challenging, and the extreme scarcity of 3D-consistent editing paired data renders supervised fine-tuning (SFT), the most effective training strategy for editing tasks, infeasible. In this paper, we observe that, while generating multi-view consistent 3D content is highly challenging, verifying 3D consistency is tractable, naturally positioning reinforcement learning (RL) as a feasible solution. Motivated by this, we propose \textbf{RL3DEdit}, a single-pass framework driven by RL optimization with novel rewards derived from the 3D foundation model, VGGT. Specifically, we leverage VGGT's robust priors learned from massive real-world data, feed the edited images, and utilize the output confidence maps and pose estimation errors as reward signals, effectively anchoring the 2D editing priors onto a 3D-consistent manifold via RL. Extensive experiments demonstrate that RL3DEdit achieves stable multi-view consistency and outperforms state-of-the-art methods in editing quality with high efficiency. To promote the development of 3D editing, we will release the code and model.
