Diffusion video models produce striking clips, but they cannot reliably render an exact formula, a correct chart, a rule-consistent game or narration synchronized to on-screen events. A different route is emerging: multimodal agents that write code to render every frame and synthesize every sound. We introduce VibeVideoBench, a benchmark for evaluating agents on code-driven video generation. Its 239 self-contained tasks in English and Chinese span 12 categories, from data stories and music-driven pieces to classroom lessons and paper explainers; each asks an agent, running in its native harness inside a sandbox with no image or video generation model, to deliver a finished MP4 with sound within one hour. Evaluation is hierarchical and evidence-based: program checks of the delivery spec, about 13k task-specific rubric checks traced to the requirements they enforce, and five quality dimensions anchored per task, scored by three VLM judge panels. Across nine frontier agent systems and 2,151 scored rollouts, GPT-6 Astra and Claude Opus 5.5 rank first and second with both the judges and human annotators, and the strongest system satisfies every core requirement on 76.3% of tasks. Delivery is a second axis: counting missing videos as zero changes the ranking, and three quarters of the lost videos are final renders that started too late, ran too slowly or never started, a failure of how agents plan their hour. Agents build their own rendering pipelines and inspect their own frames, yet how much they look does not predict quality. The judges' ranking of the systems closely matches blind human preferences.

Long-sequence panoramic reconstruction requires detailed scene geometry and globally consistent camera poses across distant revisits. Panoramic SLAM and incremental SfM rely on feature correspondences, but repeated, similar structures and small partial overlap make reliable long-range connections difficult to establish, leaving accumulated drift unresolved. Feed-forward models offer detailed local geometry, but their high computational costs limit inference window size, necessitating additional constraints for global consistency. This motivates combining continuous feature-based tracking and sparse mapping with rapid, high-quality local reconstruction from feed-forward models to achieve accurate localization and globally consistent dense mapping over long sequences. We therefore propose a panoramic reconstruction framework that couples an ORB-based sparse panoramic mapping frontend with a fine-tuned feed-forward model. Our key insight is that predicted local geometry enables 3D verification of feature matches across distant revisits, yielding long-range camera constraints even between regions. We calibrate predicted depths with sparse landmarks and use verified connections to optimize the global pose graph, updating dense geometry with the corrected camera poses. We also introduce PanoRecon, a seven-scene benchmark with repetitive architecture, large and small loops, and reference camera poses and LiDAR geometry for evaluating global consistency. Our method achieves the lowest mean absolute trajectory error and high F-1 Score among the evaluated methods. Project Page:https://zhuoxiaoli.github.io/HoloRecon_page/
Multimodal news often loses its image or text as it spreads across Web platforms. Existing methods treat this as information loss, assuming that the original veracity label remains valid. This assumption fails for fake news reusing authentic material, whose remainder may be genuine. Detectors should therefore decouple modality cues and adapt their contributions to modality availability. However, coarse news labels provide little guidance for modality decoupling, while training on complete inputs can induce modality bias. To address these challenges, we propose Head-wise Modality Decoupling and Regulation (HMDR) for multimodal large language models. First, Modality Head Decoupling decouples modality representations through soft head grouping by attention preference. Second, Modality Head Regulation regulates head contributions through compensation for imbalanced modality attention. Finally, Modality Invariance Learning promotes invariance by aligning representations of each modality under replacement of the other. Experiments on two benchmarks show that HMDR improves detection under missing modalities while maintaining performance on complete inputs.

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models are a promising paradigm for generalist robotic manipulation by grounding high-level semantic instructions into executable physical actions. However, prevailing approaches typically adopt a monolithic generation paradigm, directly mapping visual-linguistic features to high-frequency motor commands in a flat, non-hierarchical fashion. This strategy overlooks the inherent hierarchy of robotic manipulation, where complex actions can be naturally modeled in a Hybrid Action Space, decomposing into discrete macro-directional reaching and continuous micro-pose alignment, severely widening the semantic-actuation gap and imposing a heavy representational burden on grounding high-level semantics to continuous actions. To address this, we introduce Libra-VLA, a novel Coarse-to-Fine Dual-System VLA architecture. We explicitly decouple the learning complexity into a coarse-to-fine hierarchy to strike a training equilibrium, while simultaneously leveraging this structural modularity to implement an asynchronous execution strategy. The Semantic Planner predicts discrete action tokens capturing macro-directional intent, while the Action Refiner conditions on coarse intent to generate high-frequency continuous actions for precise alignment. Crucially, our empirical analysis reveals that performance follows an inverted-U curve relative to action decomposition granularity, peaking exactly when the learning difficulty is balanced between the two sub-systems. With the asynchronous design, our approach offers a scalable, robust, and responsive solution for open-world manipulation.

Recent advances in multimodal LLMs and systems that use tools for long-video QA point to the promise of reasoning over hour-long episodes. However, many methods still compress content into lossy summaries or rely on limited toolsets, weakening temporal grounding and missing fine-grained cues. We propose a multi-agent framework in which a master LLM coordinates a grounding agent to localize question-relevant segments and a vision agent to extract targeted textual observations. The master agent plans with a step limit, and is trained with reinforcement learning to encourage concise, correct, and efficient multi-agent cooperation. This design helps the master agent focus on relevant clips via grounding, complements subtitles with visual detail, and yields interpretable trajectories. On our proposed LongTVQA and LongTVQA+ which are episode-level datasets aggregated from TVQA/TVQA+, our multi-agent system significantly outperforms strong non-agent baselines. Experiments also show reinforcement learning further strengthens reasoning and planning for the trained agent.

Taxonomy Completion aims to automatically integrate new concepts into existing hierarchies. However, existing text-only methods suffer from a ”Sensory Gap”: they struggle to differentiate ambiguous definitions (e.g., Latte vs. Cappuccino) and miss visual grouping signals. Consequently, they often misinterpret lexical overlaps as hierarchical dependencies, leading to erroneous structural predictions. To bridge this, we propose VITC, a framework leveraging Visual Injection for Taxonomy Completion. By mapping synthesized images into intrinsic pseudo-tokens, we enable the text encoder to perform holistic structural reasoning. To address injection challenges, we introduce Adaptive Residual Fusion, which decouples magnitude from selection to prevent visual signals from being drowned out, and the Multimodal Guided Adaptive Reweighting strategy, which leverages cross-modal consensus (Mutual Rescue and Complementary Mining) to filter noise and identify hard negatives. Experiments on three datasets demonstrate that VITC achieves state-of-the-art performance, delivering an average absolute gain of over 19% in Hit@1. Code is available at https://github.com/nyh-a/VITC.
