PIGEONS: Incremental Long-Video Captioning with Persistent Identity Gallery and Evolving Overarching Narrative Summary

Detailed video captioning has become an essential semantic interface for multi-modal understanding and generation. While existing methods mainly target short videos, extending them to long videos remains challenging, primarily due to limited context windows of current video understanding models. A naive solution is to...

Manifold Drift in Flow Preference Optimization: A Root Cause of Reward Hacking

Preference optimization is a standard alignment method for generative models, yet extending it to continuous-time dynamics remains non-trivial. In flow matching, reward-driven updates modify transport trajectories without an inherent constraint to the pretrained data manifold and can move terminal samples off the pretr...

OmniPack: Unified Token Compression for Efficient Omni-modal Large Language Models

OmniPack is proposed, a training-free framework that coordinates structural compression before the LLM with task-relevant semantic refinement within the LLM, and consistently achieves the best performance-efficiency trade-off across diverse retention ratios, outperforming all existing methods.

Think Before You Score: Thinking Reward Model for Visual Generation

The Thinking Reward Model (TRM), a paradigm that explicitly determines what matters for each case before judging how well the candidate performs, is proposed, which formulates case-adaptive rubrics, performs rubric-guided assessment, and produces fine-grained pointwise rewards.

Human-Centric Image Captioning with Subject-Centered Spatial Understanding

This work introduces SPACE (Subject-centric Poses, Appearance, and Characteristics Evaluation), a benchmark designed to evaluate subject-centered spatial understanding, and designs a rubric-based reward for Group Relative Policy Optimization that explicitly penalizes structurally critical spatial errors during alignmen...

HiRAE: Hierarchical Representation Autoencoding with Residual Budgets

This work introduces HiRAE (Hierarchical Representation Autoencoder), which learns a hierarchical fusion framework over the full encoder hierarchy to improve reconstruction fidelity while maintaining compatibility with generative modeling.

SkillPE: Creativity-Oriented Cinematic Skill Evolution for Text-to-Video Prompt Engineering

Achieving high-quality, cinematic results in text-to-video generation remains challenging for non-experts, whose prompts often lack professional narrative and creative design. We propose SkillPE, a prompt engineering (PE) framework that evolves reusable cinematic skills from expert-authored seeds. SkillPE represents sh...

Flux-OPD: On-Policy Distillation with Evolving Contexts

Flux-OPD is proposed, an OPD paradigm that uses evolving contexts as in-training supervision to capture task preferences in open-ended domains and outperforms existing OPD paradigms, highlighting the potential to combine teacher supervision with evolving contexts.

From Evaluation to Enhancement: Benchmarking and Improving Think-with-Video Reasoning for Video Generative Models

This work proposes Vid-PRE (Video Prompt Reasoner and Enhancer), a model-agnostic prompt rewriter that offloads the cognitive burden of reasoning to a dedicated VLM, and introduces VWG-Bench, a comprehensive benchmark spanning 9 reasoning dimensions and 38 fine-grained tasks.

FlowCPO: A Unified Divergence View of Preference Alignment for Flow Models

This work introduces FlowCPO, an offline forward-KL objective that uses both preferred and dispreferred samples without online rollouts and shows under explicit regularity conditions that the forward-KL objective is bounded by a contrastive flow matching loss, yielding a tractable surrogate on fixed data.

RefCaptioner: Multi-Reference Image-Grounded Video Captioning

Human evaluation confirms that RefCaptioner achieves the best overall performance among the open-source models while remaining competitive on standard video captioning benchmarks, and human evaluation further confirms that its captions are preferred by annotators and enable more source-faithful video reconstruction wit...

Beacon: Knowing When and How to Perform Agentic Visual Reasoning

Beacon, a novel agentic visual reasoning model trained with supervised fine-tuning and reinforcement learning, is proposed, which achieves the highest average score among the evaluated open-source models and ranks first on 11 benchmarks.
