Diffusion and autoregression (AR) have long been seen as different categories of generative models, with diffusion specialising in continuous fields and AR specialising in discrete tokens. Recent work seeks to combine the advantages of the two models, and each hybrid fixes its decoding schedule by design. In this paper …
A video assistant must speak when its instruction warrants a response and stay silent otherwise. We introduce a benchmark that evaluates this decision for the complete system of model, memory, and response controller. InteractionBench covers query responses, event triggers, and ongoing updates in 1,060 interactions ove …
A video benchmark should reward the capability it claims to measure, yet models can exploit answer options, question text, or partial visual evidence. We introduce the attack pyramid, five levels of shortcut attacks with increasing access to each item, and audit 115 video benchmarks with it. On 35 benchmarks, attackers …
Compositional 3D scene reconstruction has recently been explored from two directions: agentic reasoning that provides semantic understanding of spatial relationships but lacks precise alignment with input images; and visual geometry foundation models that predict dense point maps from input images but the reconstructio …
Multimodal models increasingly think with different modalities such as images, 3D point clouds, and robot states, not just text. Yet each modality is still encoded into its own representation space, creating a modality-switching gap whenever reasoning moves from one modality to another. In this paper, we introduce Uni- …
