TraceAV-Bench is the first benchmark for multi-hop trajectory reasoning over long audio-visual videos, showing top models reach only 51-68% accuracy with substantial room for improvement.
VGenST-Bench is a new video benchmark for MLLM spatio-temporal reasoning built via generative synthesis, a multi-agent pipeline with human oversight, a 3x2x2 taxonomy, and hierarchical tasks separating perception from reasoning.
Introduces the Grounded Personality Reasoning task and MM-OCEAN dataset to show that MLLMs frequently produce correct Big Five personality ratings without grounding them in observable video evidence.
Omni-DuplexEval creates a new benchmark and LLM-as-a-Judge framework for real-time duplex omni-modal interaction, revealing that current models score below 40% overall and struggle especially with proactive responses.
GRASP is a large-scale dataset and benchmark for social reasoning grounded in gaze and gesture events in multi-person videos, with Social Grounding Reward (SGR) proposed to improve model performance on GRASP-Bench.
ReTool-Video uses a 134-tool meta-augmented library and recursive grounding to translate abstract video intents into fine-grained multimodal operations, outperforming baselines on MVBench, MLVU, and Video-MME.
TOC-Bench is a new diagnostic benchmark that reveals major weaknesses in temporal object consistency for Video-LLMs, including event counting, ordering, identity reasoning, and hallucination avoidance.
SYNCR benchmark shows leading MLLMs reach only 52.5% average accuracy on cross-video reasoning tasks against an 89.5% human baseline, with major weaknesses in physical and spatial reasoning.
Temporal information in Video-LLMs is encoded well by video-centric encoders but disrupted by standard projectors; time-preserved MLPs plus AoT supervision yield 98.1% accuracy on arrow-of-time and gains on other temporal tasks.
CRPO applies counterfactual videos and a cross-branch relation reward in RL post-training to reduce shortcut reliance in Video LLMs, with gains shown on the new DyBench paired benchmark.
ParaVT introduces the first multi-agent RL framework for parallel video tool calling in LMMs, using PARA-GRPO to resolve the Tool Prior Paradox and achieve +7.9% average improvement over Qwen3-VL baseline across six benchmarks.
Continued pre-training with balanced long-document VQA data extends a 7B LVLM to 128K context, improving long-document VQA by 7.1% and generalizing to 512K without further training.
OTT-Vid uses optimal transport with non-uniform token mass and locality-aware costs to dynamically allocate compression budgets across video frames, retaining 95.8% VQA and 73.9% VTG performance at 10% token retention.
LDDR proposes a linear DPP-based dynamic-resolution frame sampler that achieves 3x speedup and up to 2.5-point gains on video MLLM benchmarks by selecting non-redundant frames and allocating tokens accordingly.
Video-MME-v2 is a new benchmark that applies progressive visual-to-reasoning levels and non-linear group scoring to expose gaps in video MLLM capabilities.
OmniSelect is a training-free, modality-adaptive token pruning framework that dynamically selects Audio-Centric, Video-Centric, or Uniform compression regimes using AudioCLIP cross-modal relevance scores and then applies adaptive fine-grained pruning within temporal groups.
OmniRefine introduces alignment-aware chunk refinement via similarity and dynamic programming followed by modality-cooperative token compression, achieving near-baseline accuracy at 44% token retention on WorldSense.
