VideoEvolve is a framework that automatically evolves agent harnesses for video temporal grounding, a task that localizes events in videos based on natural-language queries. It introduces a Cloze-Structured Harness Representation to keep stage interfaces stable while allowing agent workflows and instructions to change, and uses Branch-Guided Harness Evolution to preserve promising code branches, guide local edits with execution feedback, and validate improvements. Experiments show that this automated evolution improves grounding performance across multiple benchmarks, with instruction refinement consistently yielding gains.

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.

FRAMEWORKERS is a task‑centric, multi‑agent framework designed for end‑to‑end AI‑generated video production. It uses a central Director to dynamically manage a task stack and an Assistant to execute tasks within a shared Workspace, leveraging modular sub‑agents that can be added without redesigning the workflow. The system is fine‑tuned with supervised learning and policy optimization, outperforming existing LLM planners and fixed pipelines in routing accuracy, failure recovery, and overall video quality.

arXiv:2605. 21917v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Training Vision Language Models (VLMs) for video event reasoning requires high-quality structured annotations capturing not only what happened, but when, where, why, and with what consequence, at a scale manual labelling cannot support.
AgentVidBench is a new multi‑hop video question‑answering benchmark designed to evaluate spatial, temporal, and causal reasoning in multimodal large language models (MLLMs). Unlike existing tests that focus on simple scene queries or global summaries, AgentVidBench includes step‑by‑step solution traces to assess whether agents gather the necessary evidence to justify their answers. Experiments with 12 MLLMs show limited single‑turn performance, but integrating these models into agentic workflows improves both accuracy and trajectory scores, establishing AgentVidBench as a comprehensive testbed for future research on agentic video understanding.

VideoHarness‑RSI explores how improving the executable context‑construction program alone can enhance long‑video understanding with frozen vision‑language models. By recursively searching for better harnesses—programs that select and structure video segments—using an outer‑loop proposer that learns from prior programs and execution traces, the method consistently outperforms weaker hand‑crafted baselines and further improves upon stronger ones. The resulting harnesses transfer to other long‑video benchmarks without additional search, demonstrating that executable context construction is a distinct, reusable optimization layer.
