SPOT-Bench tests real-time streaming video perception with timeliness metrics, exposing limitations in current models and introducing AsynKV as an improved baseline.
InstrAction pretrains video foundation models using action-centric data filtering, hard negatives, an Action Perceiver module, DTW-Align, and Masked Action Modeling to reduce static bias and outperform prior models on a new InstrAct Bench for semantic, procedural, and retrieval tasks.
SAM 3 introduces promptable concept segmentation that doubles accuracy of prior systems on images and videos while improving standard SAM segmentation performance.
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.
Flat-Pack Bench is a new evaluation suite that shows state-of-the-art LVLMs perform poorly on nuanced spatio-temporal reasoning required for furniture assembly videos.
Gaze Attention groups visual embeddings into selectable regions and dynamically restricts attention to task-relevant ones, matching dense baselines with up to 90% fewer visual KV entries via added context tokens.
CHAI framework pairs AI pre-captions with expert human critiques to produce precise video descriptions, enabling open models to outperform closed ones like Gemini-3.1-Pro and improve fine-grained control in video generation models.
Perception Programs rewrite dense visual tool outputs into language-native summaries, boosting MLLM accuracy by 15-45% absolute on BLINK perception tasks and setting new state-of-the-art results.
V-JEPA 2 pre-trained on massive unlabeled video achieves strong results on motion understanding and action anticipation, SOTA video QA at 8B scale, and enables zero-shot robotic planning on Franka arms using only 62 hours of unlabeled robot video.
Intermediate layers of a contrastively trained vision-language encoder yield stronger general embeddings than the output layer, enabling state-of-the-art performance across image/video classification, multimodal QA, and dense prediction after simple alignment.
ZAYA1-VL-8B is a new MoE vision-language model with vision-specific LoRA adapters and bidirectional image attention that reports competitive performance against several 3B-4B models on image, reasoning, and counting benchmarks.
