Pretrained multi-modal large language models (MLLMs) demonstrate strong performance on diverse multimodal tasks, but remain limited in reasoning capabilities for domains where annotations are difficult to collect. In this work, we focus on artificial image domains such as charts, rendered documents, and webpages, which are abundant in practice yet lack large-scale human annotated reasoning datasets. We introduce COGS (COmposition-Grounded data Synthesis), a data-efficient framework for equipping MLLMs with advanced reasoning abilities from a small set of seed questions. The key idea is to decompose each seed question into primitive perception and reasoning factors, which can then be systematically recomposed with new images to generate large collections of synthetic question-answer pairs. Each generated question is paired with subquestions and intermediate answers, enabling reinforcement learning with factor-level process rewards. Experiments on chart reasoning show that COGS substantially improves performance on unseen questions, with the largest gains on reasoning-heavy and compositional questions. Moreover, training with a factor-level mixture of different seed data yields better transfer across multiple datasets, suggesting that COGS induces generalizable capabilities rather than dataset-specific overfitting. We further demonstrate that the framework extends beyond charts to other domains such as webpages.

Traditional vision-language models struggle with contrastive fine-grained taxonomic reasoning, particularly when distinguishing between visually similar species within the same genus or family. We introduce TaxonRL, a reinforcement learning approach using Group Relative Policy Optimization with intermediate rewards that decomposes the reasoning process into hierarchical taxonomic predictions. Our method incentivizes models to explicitly reason about species-level, genus-level, and family-level features before making final classifications. This structured approach is designed not only to boost accuracy but also to yield a transparent, verifiable decision-making process. On the challenging Birds-to-Words dataset, TaxonRL achieves 91.7\% average accuracy, exceeding human performance (77.3\%) while generating interpretable reasoning traces. We demonstrate strong cross-domain generalization, showing substantial gains in primate and marine species verification. Our results establish that enforcing structured, hierarchical reasoning provides a powerful and transferable framework for fine-grained visual discrimination.

We introduce Helios, the first 14B video generation model that runs at 19.5 FPS on a single NVIDIA H100 GPU and supports minute-scale generation while matching the quality of a strong baseline. We make breakthroughs along three key dimensions: (1) robustness to long-video drifting without commonly used anti-drifting heuristics such as self-forcing, error-banks, or keyframe sampling; (2) real-time generation without standard acceleration techniques such as KV-cache, sparse/linear attention, or quantization; and (3) training without parallelism or sharding frameworks, enabling image-diffusion-scale batch sizes while fitting up to four 14B models within 80 GB of GPU memory. Specifically, Helios is a 14B autoregressive diffusion model with a unified input representation that natively supports T2V, I2V, and V2V tasks. To mitigate drifting in long-video generation, we characterize typical failure modes and propose simple yet effective training strategies that explicitly simulate drifting during training, while eliminating repetitive motion at its source. For efficiency, we heavily compress the historical and noisy context and reduce the number of sampling steps, yielding computational costs comparable to -- or lower than -- those of 1.3B video generative models. Moreover, we introduce infrastructure-level optimizations that accelerate both inference and training while reducing memory consumption. Extensive experiments demonstrate that Helios consistently outperforms prior methods on both short- and long-video generation. We plan to release the code, base model, and distilled model to support further development by the community.

Feed-forward transformer models have driven rapid progress in 3D vision, but state-of-the-art methods such as VGGT and $π^3$ have a computational cost that scales quadratically with the number of input images, making them inefficient when applied to large image collections. Sequential-reconstruction approaches reduce this cost but sacrifice reconstruction quality. We introduce ZipMap, a stateful feed-forward model that achieves linear-time, bidirectional 3D reconstruction while matching or surpassing the accuracy of quadratic-time methods. ZipMap employs test-time training layers to zip an entire image collection into a compact hidden scene state in a single forward pass, enabling reconstruction of over 700 frames in under 10 seconds on a single H100 GPU, more than $20\times$ faster than state-of-the-art methods such as VGGT. Moreover, we demonstrate the benefits of having a stateful representation in real-time scene-state querying and its extension to sequential streaming reconstruction.

Human motion prediction combines the tasks of trajectory forecasting and human pose prediction. For each of the two tasks, specialized models have been developed. Combining these models for holistic human motion prediction is non-trivial, and recent methods have struggled to compete on established benchmarks for individual tasks. To address this, we propose a simple yet effective transformer-based model for human motion prediction. The model employs a stack of self-attention modules to effectively capture both spatial dependencies within a pose and temporal relationships across a motion sequence. This simple, streamlined, end-to-end model is sufficiently versatile to handle pose-only, trajectory-only, and combined prediction tasks without task-specific modifications. We demonstrate that this approach achieves state-of-the-art results across all tasks through extensive experiments on a wide range of benchmark datasets, including Human3.6M, AMASS, ETH-UCY, and 3DPW.
