Scaling vision foundation models is constrained by the quadratic complexity of self-attention. Although subquadratic attention alternatives like linear attention variants and state-space models successfully reduce the model complexity, they typically serialize images into 1D token sequences, compromising spatial coherence and efficiency. Generalized Spatial Propagation Networks (GSPN) offer a linear-time alternative that propagates context directly on the 2D grid via line-scan propagation and removes positional embeddings, yet the original design hits GPU-scaling limits: growing batch/channels saturate SM concurrency, serializing scans, and spiking latency. We introduce Compact GSPN (C-GSPN), a ViT block that compresses the propagation space to preserve accuracy while cutting propagation latency by nearly 10x. We further improve efficiency with lightweight projections and fused CUDA kernels. To enable large-scale pretraining, we adopta two-stage cross-operator distillation strategy that combines layer-wise supervision with end-to-end alignment. In a representative 1K configuration (batch 32, C=1152), C-GSPN achieves up to 2x speedup, maintains competitive zero-shot accuracy, and improves segmentation by +2.1%. Extensive experiments and ablations show that the proposed compression and two-stage distillation are criticalfor strong transfer while substantially reducing compute, enabling the first extension of a subquadratic operator to foundation-scale (CLIP-style) vision pretraining.

Multi-modal large language models (MLLMs) have advanced general-purpose video understanding but struggle with long, high-resolution videos---they process every pixel equally in their vision transformers (ViTs) or LLMs despite significant spatiotemporal redundancy. We introduce AutoGaze, a lightweight module that removes redundant patches before processed by a ViT or an MLLM. Trained with next-token prediction and reinforcement learning, AutoGaze autoregressively selects a minimal set of multi-scale patches that reconstructs the video within a user-specified error threshold, eliminating redundancy while preserving information. Empirically, AutoGaze reduces visual tokens by 4x-100x and accelerates ViTs and MLLMs by up to 19x, scaling MLLMs to 1K-frame 4K-resolution videos and achieving superior results on video benchmarks (e.g., 67.0% on VideoMME). Furthermore, we introduce HLVid: the first high-resolution, long-form video QA benchmark with 5-minute 4K-resolution videos, where an MLLM scaled with AutoGaze improves over the baseline by 10.1% and outperforms the previous best MLLM by 4.5%.

We present GR3D, a spatial vision language model equipped with three complementary grounding capabilities--explicit 2D grounding, implicit 2D grounding, and monocular 3D grounding--within a single framework. GR3D introduces an implicit grounding mechanism that identifies entity mentions during generation and inserts the corresponding region tokens into the text stream, allowing the model to reference visual evidence on the fly when producing spatial chain-of-thought responses. In parallel, a region-prompted monocular 3D grounding design predicts 3D bounding boxes in the camera view from grounded region queries, supported by intrinsic-aware normalization and dense geometric supervision. Together, these grounding capabilities enable GR3D to decompose complex spatial understanding problems into grounded 2D perception followed by 3D inference. GR3D achieves consistent improvements across grounded and non-grounded spatial benchmarks, demonstrating grounding as an effective inductive bias for strengthening spatial understanding in VLMs. These grounding capabilities collectively enhance general spatial understanding beyond the grounding task itself.
