Feed-forward 3D Gaussian Splatting predicts a scene from a few images, but our predictor is less accurate than its own Gaussians optimized per scene on those images. This gap lies mostly in the shape of the Gaussians, their scale and rotation, since optimizing the shape alone recovers almost all of it and opacity and color recover less. Gradient steps on the input views correct this shape, and the model holds these views at inference. Log-anisotropy correction changes the axis ratios of each Gaussian in log space at constant volume, and in-forward gradient refinement renders the Gaussians into the input views and applies the gradient of the photometric loss with a learned recurrent update, first to opacity and color and then to the shape. GradSplat is a feed-forward model that refines its own Gaussians by learned gradient steps inside its forward pass, with no target view. On both complete six-view RealEstate10K protocols, it has the best PSNR and SSIM among nine methods and keeps its accuracy from $6$ to $42$ input views. Without fine-tuning, it is the most accurate on DL3DV and has the best PSNR and SSIM on ScanNet++. The code will be released at https://github.com/Jingong-Chen/GradSplat/.
Privacy compliance requires re-identification models to selectively forget individuals while preserving their ability to recognize others. For this, we present MoME, a switchable framework that can adapt pre-trained backbones for privacy compliance, allowing the same model to switch between Full mode for standard inference and Core mode for unlearned inference. MoME splits one backbone into core parameters that preserve retrieval and zero-initialized parasitic parameters that carry the full-data knowledge, and training them under gradient isolation so the core never receives a forget-set gradient. Disabling the branch yields Core, which satisfies a request to delete a person's training data, and enabling it yields Full, which retains what the deleted data taught, so honoring the request is a flag flip rather than a retraining run. We prove Core independent of the forget set up to an audited set of coupling channels and introduce the rank-based Forgetting-Rank statistic to audit that independence in a trained model. On Market-1501, VeRi-776 and RegDB, Core reads at a retrained reference under three membership attacks while retrieving above it, and the retrieval advantage carries to ResNet and CLIP backbones. Code and weights are available at https://github.com/Jingong-Chen/MoME.

Geometry foundation models recover camera poses and dense geometry from a set of images with a feed-forward network, but they expect pinhole images. That assumption is inside the backbone too: the positional encoding and the training loss both bind an image position to a direction in space, and both depend on the lens. We condition both on the dense ray field, the unit direction through every pixel, which describes any central camera without a lens type, distortion coefficients or a bound on field of view. Angular coordinates give the rotary encoding the measured ray angle of each patch, evaluated per view, and solid-angle weighting scales the point loss by the area each pixel covers on the sphere, so neither the encoding nor the supervision depends on the lens. Any3R is therefore a feed-forward model that takes any central camera, and is robust to mixing many camera types per scene, with no retraining per lens. On a benchmark of thirteen central cameras across three datasets, where every method reconstructs with its own predicted camera poses, it is the most consistently accurate method. Any3R enables scalable 3D reconstruction from heterogeneous crowdsourced and archival imagery collections sourced across diverse camera types. Project page: https://jingong-chen.github.io/Any3R/
