Modern black-box Image-to-Video (I2V) models offer powerful capabilities in automated content creation, yet their lack of fine-grained control and reliability presents significant challenges in professional workflows. Their inherent stochasticity causes minor variations in textual prompts or hyperparameters to yield drastically different outputs often necessitating inefficient, brute-force trial-and-error processes.

AI video generation has advanced rapidly and entered widespread commercial use. As a result, quality differences among videos produced by state-of-the-art AI video generation models~(AIVGMs) have become increasingly difficult to discern using conventional evaluation criteria, such as visual fidelity and semantic instruction following.
Long-form video understanding requires locating sparse, question-relevant evidence in long, multimodal videos. Real-world video distributions differ in modality-specific information density, content structure, and evidence patterns, causing fixed video-agent designs to incur redundant processing or fail when mismatched.
arXiv:2608. 09666v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advances in visual generative models have enabled high-quality image and video generation, but evaluating these models often demands sampling hundreds or thousands of images or videos, which is computationally expensive.
