Vesta: A Generalist Embodied Reasoning Model

Johan Bjorck, Zhiqi Li, Yunze Man +29

Robots operating in open-world environments must seamlessly integrate localization, spatial reasoning, navigation, and long-horizon planning. While specialist models excel at indiv…

Reinforcing Dual-Path Reasoning in Spatial Vision Language Models

Yatai Ji, An-Chieh Cheng, Yang Fu +13

Spatial VLMs have made substantial progress in geometric perception, yet complex spatial reasoning requiring multi-step inference over depth, distance, and scene relations remains…

Scaling Parallel Sequence Models to Foundation-Scale Vision Encoders

Yitong Jiang, Hongjun Wang, Collin McCarthy +15

Vision foundation models are bottlenecked by the quadratic cost of self-attention, which limits usable resolution and increases the cost of large-scale pretraining. Subquadratic al…

Long-Horizon Manipulation via Trace-Conditioned VLA Planning

Isabella Liu, An-Chieh Cheng, Rui Yan +7

Long-horizon manipulation remains challenging for vision-language-action (VLA) policies: real tasks are multi-step, progress-dependent, and brittle to compounding execution errors.…

Attend Before Attention: Efficient and Scalable Video Understanding via Autoregressive Gazing

Baifeng Shi, Stephanie Fu, Long Lian +10

Multi-modal large language models (MLLMs) have advanced general-purpose video understanding but struggle with long, high-resolution videos -- they process every pixel equally in th…

GSPN-2: Efficient Parallel Sequence Modeling

Hongjun Wang, Yitong Jiang, Collin McCarthy +12

Efficient vision transformer remains a bottleneck for high-resolution images and long-video related real-world applications. Generalized Spatial Propagation Network (GSPN) addresse…
