Large multimodal models (LMMs) have shown great potential for video reasoning with textual Chain-of-Thought. However, they remain vulnerable to hallucinations, especially when processing long-form videos where evidence is sparse and temporally dispersed. Inspired by how humans comprehend long videos--by first skimming globally and then examining relevant clips for details--we introduce LongVT, an end-to-end agentic framework that enables "Thinking with Long Videos" via interleaved Multimodal Chain-of-Tool-Thought. Specifically, we exploit LMMs' inherent temporal grounding ability as a native video cropping tool to zoom in on a specific video clip and resample finer-grained video frames. This global-to-local reasoning loop continues until answers are grounded in retrieved visual evidence. Given the scarcity of fine-grained question-answering (QA) data for the long video reasoning task, we curate and release a data suite named VideoSIAH to facilitate both training and evaluation. Specifically, our training dataset consists of 247.9K samples for tool-integrated cold-start supervised fine-tuning, 1.6K samples for agentic reinforcement learning, and 15.4K samples for agentic reinforcement fine-tuning. Our evaluation benchmark consists of 652 QA pairs that are carefully curated through a semi-automatic data pipeline with human-in-the-loop validation. With a meticulously designed three-stage training strategy and extensive empirical validation, LongVT consistently outperforms existing strong baselines across four challenging long-video understanding and reasoning benchmarks. Our code, data, and model weights are publicly available at https://github.com/EvolvingLMMs-Lab/LongVT.

Model merging aims to combine multiple task-specific experts into a single model, but inter-task interference often causes severe degradation, especially when the experts are trained on heterogeneous objectives. Existing data-free methods are practical, yet largely rely on parameter-space heuristics without explicitly modeling task statistics. In this paper, we show that under a local linear approximation, the input covariance of each task can be estimated directly from its fine-tuning update, providing a principled bridge between parameter changes and data geometry in the data-free setting. Based on this insight, we propose ACE-Merging, a closed-form model merging framework with adaptive covariance normalization, a collective structural prior, and spectral refinement. Across both vision and language benchmarks, ACE-Merging achieves strong overall performance among data-free baselines. In particular, it improves the average score on GPT-2 by more than 4 points over prior methods, while also delivering strong scalability and competitive efficiency. Our code is available at https://github.com/unravel-xu/ACE-Merging/tree/main.

In Remote Sensing (RS), Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT) has emerged as a key approach to activate the generalizable representation ability of foundation models for downstream tasks. However, existing specialized PEFT methods often fail when applied to large-scale Earth observation tasks, as they are unable to fully handle the multifaceted and unpredictable domain gaps (e.g., spatial, semantic, and frequency shifts) inherent in RS data. To overcome this, we propose CrossEarth-Gate, which introduces two primary contributions. First, we establish a comprehensive RS module toolbox to address multifaceted domain gaps, comprising spatial, semantic, and frequency modules. Second, we develop a Fisher-guided adaptive selection mechanism that operates on this toolbox. This selection is guided by Fisher Information to quantify each module's importance by measuring its contribution to the task-specific gradient flow. It dynamically activates only the most critical modules at the appropriate layers, guiding the gradient flow to maximize adaptation effectiveness and efficiency. Comprehensive experiments validate the efficacy and generalizability of our method, where CrossEarth-Gate achieves state-of-the-art performance on 16 out of 18 cross-domain benchmarks for RS semantic segmentation.
