Game2Real-Bench: Do Toy Games Reveal and Transfer to Real-World Visual Reasoning?

Qingan Liu, Juntong Feng, Yue Zhu +6

Visual reasoning is an important capability for vision-language models (VLMs) to understand visual evidence, spatial structure, constraints, and state changes. Existing evaluations…

Looped Diffusion Transformer

Yong Xien Chng, Tianyi Chen, Wenwen Tong +7

Improving text-to-image models has traditionally relied on increasing model size or the number of denoising steps. In this work, we explore an alternative way to scale computation…

Think Before You Score: Thinking Reward Model for Visual Generation

Xuehai Bai, Zhenchen Tang, Yang Shi +9

Visual reward models are essential for evaluating and improving visual generation models, yet existing approaches typically map task conditions and candidate outputs directly to sc…

Learning Native Reflection in Unified Models with Interleaved Reinforcement Learning

Yijia Fan, Ziqi Huang, Zhongang Cai +5

Unified multimodal models can both look at and render images, so in principle they can repair their own generations: diagnose what an image gets wrong, revise it, observe the resul…

VABench: Measuring Embodied Spatial Intelligence through Visual Demonstrations, Active Perception, and Metric Control

Zhongbo Zhang, Jiayi Jin, Yifan Wang +4

Spatial intelligence requires more than describing object locations. Under incomplete observation, models must identify and acquire missing evidence, interpret it in a common spati…

SenseNova-U1.5: Towards Native Unified Visual Intelligence

Haiwen Diao, Jiahao Wang, Chenjing Ding +62

We launch SenseNova-U1.5, an 8B-MoT native unified multimodal model that understands, reasons about, and generates visual content within an encoder-free and VAE-free architecture.…

Uncovering Understanding-Generation Synergy in Native Unified Multimodal Models: From Representation, Task to System

Penghao Wu, Haiwen Diao, Weichen Fan +3

While unified multimodal models (UMMs) jointly perform visual understanding and generation within a single model, functional unification does not guarantee learning synergy: the tw…

VBVR-Pro: A Scalable and Verifiable Suite for Native Visual Reasoning

Junxiang Xu, Ruisi Wang, Fanyi Pu +49

Native visual reasoning treats visual generation as the medium of reasoning itself: visual states (i.e. images and videos) are not merely inputs to be understood or outputs to be r…

V-Rubrics: Visual Faithfulness via Rubric-Based Reinforcement Learning

Shulin Tian, Minglun Li, Yuhao Dong +6

Vision-language models can produce fluent answers that are insufficiently grounded in the visual evidence: a single unsupported object, chart value, or intermediate inference can u…

Vision as Unified Multimodal Generation

Xiaoyang Han, Jianhua Li, Kewang Deng +14

We formulate computer vision as unified multimodal generation, where heterogeneous visual tasks are expressed in the native text and image generation spaces of a unified multimodal…

Show the Signal, Hide the Noise: Spectral Forcing for Pixel-Space Diffusion

Weichen Fan, Haiwen Diao, Penghao Wu +1

Pixel-space diffusion models are trained on full-bandwidth noisy images, yet the useful signal available to the denoiser is strongly frequency dependent. Under rectified-flow diffu…

From Pixels to Words -- Towards Native One-Vision Models at Scale

Haiwen Diao, Jiahao Wang, Penghao Wu +18

Current vision-language models (VLMs) typically stitch together separate image encoders and language decoders via multi-stage alignment, a modular framework that inevitably fragmen…

SenseNova-U1: Unifying Multimodal Understanding and Generation with NEO-unify Architecture

Haiwen Diao, Penghao Wu, Hanming Deng +55

Recent large vision-language models (VLMs) remain fundamentally constrained by a persistent dichotomy: understanding and generation are treated as distinct problems, leading to fra…
