Video understanding with multimodal large language models (MLLMs) remains challenging due to the long token sequences of videos, which contain extensive temporal dependencies and redundant frames.Existing approaches typically treat MLLMs as passive recognizers, processing entire videos or uniformly sampled frames without adaptive reasoning.Recent agent-based methods introduce external tools, yet still depend on manually designed workflows and perception-first strategies, resulting in inefficiency on long videos. We present EVA, an Efficient Reinforcement Learning framework for End-to-End Video Agent, which enables planning-before-perception through iterative summary-plan-action-reflection reasoning.EVA autonomously decides what to watch, when to watch, and how to watch, achieving query-driven and efficient video understanding.To train such agents, we design a simple yet effective three-stage learning pipeline--comprising supervised fine-tuning (SFT), Kahneman-Tversky Optimization (KTO), and Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO)--that bridges supervised imitation and reinforcement learning.We further construct high-quality datasets for each stage, supporting stable and reproducible training.We evaluate EVA on six video understanding benchmarks, demonstrating its comprehensive capabilities. Compared with existing baselines, EVA achieves a substantial improvement of 6--12% over general MLLM baselines and a further 1--3% gain over prior adaptive agent methods.

Despite remarkable progress, multimodal foundation models still exhibit surprising deficiencies in spatial intelligence. In this work, we explore scaling up multimodal foundation models to cultivate spatial intelligence within the SenseNova-SI family, built upon established multimodal foundations including visual understanding models (i.e., Qwen3-VL and InternVL3) and unified understanding and generation models (i.e., Bagel). We take a principled approach to constructing high-performing and robust spatial intelligence by systematically curating SenseNova-SI-8M: eight million diverse data samples under a rigorous taxonomy of spatial capabilities. SenseNova-SI demonstrates unprecedented performance across a broad range of spatial intelligence benchmarks: 68.8% on VSI-Bench, 43.3% on MMSI, 85.7% on MindCube, 54.7% on ViewSpatial, 47.7% on SITE, 63.9% on BLINK, 55.5% on 3DSR, and 72.0% on EmbSpatial, while maintaining strong general multimodal understanding (e.g., 84.9% on MMBench-En). More importantly, we analyze the impact of data scaling, discuss early signs of emergent generalization capabilities enabled by diverse data training, analyze the risk of overfitting and language shortcuts, present a preliminary study on spatial chain-of-thought reasoning, and validate the potential downstream application. All newly trained multimodal foundation models are publicly released.

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) are limited by static knowledge and insufficient fine-grained visual analysis, hindering their performance on knowledge-intensive and visually complex tasks. While recent research has explored VLMs that employ external tools like search or cropping to enhance model performance, they typically employ tools in isolation and lack the ability to coordinate multiple tools effectively. To address this gap, we propose SenseSearch, the first agentic VLM for search-reasoning that supports adaptive multi-tool coordination via reinforcement learning (RL). Specifically, SenseSearch dynamically integrates the image search, text search, and image crop tools to tackle fine-grained and knowledge-intensive visual understanding challenges. We first construct a high-quality cold-start dataset to instill basic tool-usage behaviors. In the subsequent RL stage, we introduce Batch-Normalized Group Sequence Policy Optimization (BN-GSPO) algorithm to enhance the tool invocation and reasoning ability. To comprehensively evaluate the agentic VLMs on complex visual tasks, we introduce the HR-MMSearch benchmark, the first search-oriented benchmark composed of high-resolution images with knowledge-intensive and search-driven questions. Experiments demonstrate that SenseSearch achieves state-of-the-art performance on open-source search and fine-grained image understanding benchmarks, outperforming baselines by 19.18% on HR-MMSearch. SenseSearch provides a promising path toward agentic VLMs with effective and robust tool invocation capabilities. All code and data are released at https://github.com/OpenSenseNova/SenseNova-MARS.
