Video Diffusion Transformers process long spatio-temporal sequences, making self-attention the main bottleneck in high-resolution video generation. Training-free sparse attention reduces this cost, but adaptive Top-$p$ routing creates uneven per-head workloads under multi-GPU seq…
Recent unified multimodal models show a single architecture can jointly perform vision/language understanding and image generation/editing. However, they repeatedly feed all historical visual and textual inputs into a shared context window, limiting long-horizon multimodal dialog…
Knowledge-based Visual Question Answering (KB-VQA) requires models to retrieve visual entities matching the query image from large-scale encyclopedic knowledge bases and answer related questions. Existing multimodal Retrieval Augmented Generation (mRAG) methods rely on global vis…
Recent advancements in Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have evolved from static perception to interleaved visual-language reasoning, often referred to as ``thinking with images''. A basic operation in this reasoning process is to zoom in on regions of interest (often rep…
We introduce Orca, an initial instantiation of a general world foundation model. Orca learns a unified world latent space from multimodal world signals and exposes it through multimodal readout interfaces. Rather than optimizing isolated next-token, next-frame, or next-action pre…
High-fidelity and expressive controllable human animation is essential for content creation and digital avatar applications. However, existing methods face a dilemma between expressiveness and disentanglement. Mainstream 2D pose-conditioned approaches suffer from "motion-shape en…
Reinforcement Learning like Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) has significantly advanced text-to-image post-training. However, current methods often favor superficial aesthetics, such as over-saturated colors, leaving critical flaws like AI artifacts and biological implau…
