Bernini proposes a unified framework that separates semantic planning and pixel rendering for video generation and editing. An MLLM-based planner predicts target semantics in ViT embedding space, while a DiT-based renderer synthesizes pixels conditioned on this plan, text features, and source VAE features for editing. The approach introduces Segment-Aware 3D Rotary Positional Embedding and chain-of-thought reasoning, achieving state‑of‑the‑art performance on diverse video benchmarks.
PreviewDiff is a test‑time search method that uses multimodal critics to guide diffusion model sampling. By decoding partial previews at selected denoising checkpoints, scoring them with a multimodal judge, and branching over semantic prompt edits, it allows the generation process to be edited and rerouted before completion. The approach consistently outperforms budget‑matched Best‑of‑N sampling and scalar‑search baselines on image and video benchmarks, with early interventions and wider search yielding the biggest gains.

The paper compares diffusion and rectified flow objectives within the MotionGPT3 framework for text-driven motion generation. Experiments on HumanML3D show that rectified flow converges faster, achieves strong test performance earlier, and matches or exceeds diffusion quality while requiring fewer sampling steps. The study isolates the generative objective’s impact, demonstrating that rectified flow’s benefits transfer to continuous-latent motion generation.
CounterVid introduces a scalable counterfactual video generation framework that creates videos differing only in actions or temporal structure while keeping scene context intact. The approach uses multimodal LLMs for action proposals and diffusion models for editing, producing a synthetic dataset of ~26k preference pairs for action recognition and sequence ordering. With the MixDPO optimization method, the authors demonstrate significant improvements in action recognition and temporal ordering on Qwen2.5‑VL and InternVL3 backbones, while maintaining overall video understanding.
The paper tackles two main issues in multi-subject video generation—uncontrollable fidelity strength and semantic drift—by studying Diffusion Transformers (DiTs). It discovers that certain attention blocks naturally create an Intrinsic Spatial Grounding Map (ISGM) that accurately locates reference subjects. Leveraging this insight, the authors introduce Dual-phase Intrinsic Attention Leveraging (DIAL), which uses ISGM during low-noise stages to control fidelity strength without retraining and during high-noise stages to generate preference pairs for reinforcement learning, thereby anchoring attention and reducing semantic drift. Experiments on the OpenS2V-Eval benchmark show that DIAL outperforms baseline models, improving identity consistency and enabling controllable fidelity strength.
Visual Information-Guided Parallel Decoding for Diffusion Multimodal Large Language Models introduces the VIG‑Sampler, a method that prioritizes tokens for decoding based on their attention to image tokens and penalizes redundancy in image‑attention distributions. The approach aims to improve the quality of multimodal generation by selecting more informative tokens during diffusion decoding. Experiments on seven captioning and VQA benchmarks with three open‑source dMLLMs show that VIG‑Sampler outperforms the Info‑Gain Sampler by an average of 19.3 CIDEr points and achieves better COCO Caption results using only half as many decoding steps.
