Multimodal latent-space reasoning aims to replace explicit thinking with images by performing visual reasoning directly in a compact latent space. However, existing approaches largely rely on visual supervision and produce latent representations that lack sufficient semantic richness, limiting their ability to support diverse region-level reasoning tasks. In this work, we introduce Semantic-Enriched Latent Visual Reasoning (SLVR), a two-stage learning framework that enriches latent representations with attribute-level visual semantics and aligns them with diverse reasoning objectives. In the first stage, SLVR learns semantically enriched region-centric latents under fine-grained attribute supervision. In the second stage, we design Multi-query Group Relative Policy Optimization (M-GRPO) to align latent representations across multiple queries grounded in the same region. To support this framework, we construct SLV-Set, comprising approximately 400K region-level attribute annotations and 800K multi-query question answering samples, and introduce SV-QA, a benchmark that evaluates latent reasoning under semantic variation. Experiments demonstrate that SLVR improves the robustness and semantic consistency of latent visual reasoning compared to existing baselines.

Producing long-form videos from narration requires interdependent decisions that remain coherent across shots. Existing agentic editors often use multi-stage workflows driven by general models, leaving the quality-cost trade-off of compact, task-adapted policies unclear. We address this gap with WeVisCut, a long-form script-to-video system that connects tool execution with policy learning. Its agent harness maintains shared production state so that tool feedback informs subsequent decisions and repairs. Because finished videos do not expose these decisions, our four-stage data pipeline combines editing inversion with verified replay to turn recovered editing intent into executable supervision. Applied to 3,750 finished videos, this pipeline yields over 130K training examples. We use this supervision to train a single 9B policy that coordinates production and recovers from failures within the same harness. Moreover, we introduce a 100-task benchmark and five metrics assessing editing quality and delivery reliability. Under a shared tool environment, WeVisCut substantially outperforms its base model and achieves comparable performance to Claude Opus 5 while using nearly 33x fewer generated tokens per successful output minute. It also outperforms task-matched native editors on our proposed metrics.
