OCRBench v2 is a new benchmark with four times more tasks than prior versions that reveals most large multimodal models score below 50 out of 100 on visual text tasks and share five specific weaknesses.
Data curation alone raises VLM accuracy by more than 11 points on average across many benchmarks while cutting required training compute by up to 87 times.
Mixing 3-10% of visually grounded self-supervised instructions into visual instruction tuning consistently boosts MLLM performance on vision-centric benchmarks.
CoME-VL fuses contrastive and self-supervised vision encoders via entropy-guided multi-layer aggregation and RoPE cross-attention to improve vision-language model performance on benchmarks.
COMPACT synthesizes compositional visual instruction data to reduce VIT training data by 90% while achieving 100.2% of full performance across eight multimodal benchmarks.
InternVL3-78B sets a new open-source SOTA of 72.2 on MMMU via native joint multimodal pre-training, V2PE, MPO, and test-time scaling while remaining competitive with proprietary models.
InternVL 2.5 is the first open-source MLLM to surpass 70% on the MMMU benchmark via model, data, and test-time scaling, with a 3.7-point gain from chain-of-thought reasoning.
EvoDriveVLA uses collaborative perception-planning distillation with self-anchor and future-aware teachers to fix perception degradation and long-term instability in driving VLA models, reaching SOTA on nuScenes and NAVSIM.
ThinkAct introduces reinforced visual latent planning in a dual VLA system to enable better long-horizon reasoning and adaptation for embodied tasks.
NVILA improves on VILA with a scale-then-compress visual token strategy and full-lifecycle efficiency optimizations, matching or exceeding leading VLMs on image and video benchmarks while reducing training cost 1.9-5.1x and latencies 1.2-2.8x.
