Reinforcement learning (RL), earlier proven to be effective in large language and multi-modal models, has been successfully extended to enhance 2D image generation recently. However, applying RL to 3D generation remains largely unexplored due to the higher spatial complexity of 3D objects, which require globally consistent geometry and fine-grained local textures. This makes 3D generation significantly sensitive to reward designs and RL algorithms. To address these challenges, we conduct the first systematic study of RL for text-to-3D autoregressive generation across several dimensions. (1) Reward designs: We evaluate reward dimensions and model choices, showing that alignment with human preference is crucial, and that general multi-modal models provide robust signal for 3D attributes. (2) RL algorithms: We study GRPO variants, highlighting the effectiveness of token-level optimization, and further investigate the scaling of training data and iterations. (3) Text-to-3D Benchmarks: Since existing benchmarks fail to measure implicit reasoning abilities in 3D generation models, we introduce MME-3DR. (4) Advanced RL paradigms: Motivated by the natural hierarchy of 3D generation, we propose Hi-GRPO, which optimizes the global-to-local hierarchical 3D generation through dedicated reward ensembles. Based on these insights, we develop AR3D-R1, the first RL-enhanced text-to-3D model, expert from coarse shape to texture refinement. We hope this study provides insights into RL-driven reasoning for 3D generation. The code is released at https://github.com/Ivan-Tang-3D/3DGen-R1.

Recent advances in video generation have been remarkable, enabling models to produce visually compelling videos with synchronized audio. While existing video generation benchmarks provide comprehensive metrics for visual quality, they lack convincing evaluations for audio-video generation, especially for models aiming to generate synchronized audio-video outputs. To address this gap, we introduce VABench, a comprehensive and multi-dimensional benchmark framework designed to systematically evaluate the capabilities of synchronous audio-video generation. VABench encompasses three primary task types: text-to-audio-video (T2AV), image-to-audio-video (I2AV), and stereo audio-video generation. It further establishes two major evaluation modules covering 15 dimensions. These dimensions specifically assess pairwise similarities (text-video, text-audio, video-audio), audio-video synchronization, lip-speech consistency, and carefully curated audio and video question-answering (QA) pairs, among others. Furthermore, VABench covers seven major content categories: animals, human sounds, music, environmental sounds, synchronous physical sounds, complex scenes, and virtual worlds. We provide a systematic analysis and visualization of the evaluation results, aiming to establish a new standard for assessing video generation models with synchronous audio capabilities and to promote the comprehensive advancement of the field.

Autoregressive (AR) models have achieved remarkable success in natural language processing, yet their application to image generation faces significant challenges. When implementing VQ-based decoders for autoregressive image generation, the generated images typically preserve semantic information but struggle with fine-grained details. Recent hybrid AR image generation approaches address these issues by integrating diffusion models as decoder heads, enabling more high-fidelity generation. However, the diffusion-based denoising process introduces significant computational overhead during inference.To accelerate hybrid AR image generation, we propose the Lookahead Decoding Strategy, which integrates the strengths of autoregressive and diffusion models by separating the process into two complementary branches: semantic prediction and detail refinement. The autoregressive branch captures high-level semantic structures while refining coarse predictions made by the parallel. Furthermore, we introduce Guided Diffusion Sampling to steer the diffusion denoising trajectory, significantly reducing the number of denoising steps. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our approach provides an effective solution for accelerating hybrid AR image generation models.

Subject-driven image generation has advanced from single- to multi-subject composition, while neglecting distinction, the ability to distinguish and generate the correct subject when inputs contain multiple candidates. This limitation restricts effectiveness in complex, realistic visual settings. We propose Scone, a unified understanding-generation method that integrates composition and distinction. Scone enables the understanding expert to act as a semantic bridge, conveying semantic information and guiding the generation expert to preserve subject identity while minimizing interference. A two-stage training scheme first learns composition, then enhances distinction through semantic alignment and attention-based masking. We also introduce SconeEval, a benchmark for evaluating both composition and distinction across diverse scenarios. Experiments demonstrate that Scone outperforms existing open-source models in composition and distinction tasks on two benchmarks. Our model, benchmark, and training data are available at: https://github.com/Ryann-Ran/Scone.

This paper introduces UniMERNet, a high-accuracy, computation-efficient algorithm for Mathematical Expression Recognition (MER) across diverse real-world scenarios. To facilitate UniMERNet's training, we constructed UniMER-1M, a million-scale dataset whose unprecedented diversity endows the model with robust generalization ability. Through in-depth analysis, we discover a distinctive raster-scan pattern (left-to-right, top-to-bottom) in the attention distribution of Transformer models for MER tasks, which closely aligns with human reading habits. Based on this key finding, we design an innovative **Raster-Scan Attention** mechanism that employs a "horizontal-first, vertical-second" sequential attention computation strategy. This approach not only successfully reduces computational complexity from \mathcal O (NH^2W^2D) to \mathcal O (NHWD(H + W)) , but also enables the model to capture long-range dependencies more efficiently, achieving recognition performance comparable to global attention. Leveraging both UniMER-1M and our innovative attention mechanism, UniMERNet achieves state-of-the-art performance across four real-world scenarios while significantly reducing computational resources compared to global attention: over **1.2x** memory savings during training, approximately **10x** memory reduction during inference, and **5x** speed with slightly improved accuracy. All resources will be publicly released to advance MER research further.

Robust humanoid locomotion requires accurate and globally consistent perception of the surrounding 3D environment. However, existing perception modules, mainly based on depth images or elevation maps, offer only partial and locally flattened views of the environment, failing to capture the full 3D structure. This paper presents Gallant, a voxel-grid-based framework for humanoid locomotion and local navigation in 3D constrained terrains. It leverages voxelized LiDAR data as a lightweight and structured perceptual representation, and employs a z-grouped 2D CNN to map this representation to the control policy, enabling fully end-to-end optimization. A high-fidelity LiDAR simulation that dynamically generates realistic observations is developed to support scalable, LiDAR-based training and ensure sim-to-real consistency. Experimental results show that Gallant's broader perceptual coverage facilitates the use of a single policy that goes beyond the limitations of previous methods confined to ground-level obstacles, extending to lateral clutter, overhead constraints, multi-level structures, and narrow passages. Gallant also firstly achieves over-90% success rates in challenging scenarios such as stair climbing and stepping onto elevated platforms through improved end-to-end optimization.

While Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) excel on benchmarks, their processing paradigm differs from the human ability to integrate visual information. Unlike humans who naturally bridge details and high-level concepts, models tend to treat these elements in isolation. Prevailing evaluation protocols often decouple low-level perception from high-level reasoning, overlooking their semantic and causal dependencies, which yields non-diagnostic results and obscures performance bottlenecks. We present VCU-Bridge, a framework that operationalizes a human-like hierarchy of visual connotation understanding: multi-level reasoning that advances from foundational perception through semantic bridging to abstract connotation, with an explicit evidence-to-inference trace from concrete cues to abstract conclusions. Building on this framework, we construct HVCU-Bench, a benchmark for hierarchical visual connotation understanding with explicit, level-wise diagnostics. Comprehensive experiments demonstrate a consistent decline in performance as reasoning progresses to higher levels. We further develop a data generation pipeline for instruction tuning guided by Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) and show that strengthening low-level capabilities yields measurable gains at higher levels. Interestingly, it not only improves on HVCU-Bench but also brings benefits on general benchmarks (average +2.53%), especially with substantial gains on MMStar (+7.26%), demonstrating the significance of the hierarchical thinking pattern and its effectiveness in enhancing MLLM capabilities.
