Bernini: Latent Semantic Planning for Video Diffusion

Read the original on arXiv AI →

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.

VINCIE-NExT: Unlocking Video Editing from Images via In-Context Modeling

VINCIE‑NExT is a unified framework that transfers image editing capabilities to video editing by using in‑context visual demonstrations. It decomposes video editing into a chain of sub‑tasks (Video → Image → Image → Video), routing editing intent through the image domain and enabling joint training from heterogeneous image and video data under a single diffusion objective. The method introduces a novel position encoding to link image demonstrations and video frames, allowing pixel‑faithful appearance propagation, and supports test‑time scaling through progressive diffusion stages.

WeAgent-MMGenEdit: A Full-Stack Recipe for Multimodal Agentic Image Generation and Editing

WeAgent-MMGenEdit is a comprehensive framework for multimodal agentic image generation and editing that addresses the unreliability of current models when prompts require external world knowledge. It introduces a multimodal harness with persistent evidence management, a scalable data construction pipeline producing 23K supervised trajectories and 14.7K RL tasks, and a bilingual benchmark (WeBench-MMGenEdit) for knowledge-intensive generation and multi-image editing. Post‑training methods based on SFT and RL further refine the agent policy and image backend, enabling a 30B‑parameter policy to outperform similarly sized models and approach the performance of a 1T‑parameter agent.

VideoTIR: Accurate Understanding for Long Videos with Efficient Tool-Integrated Reasoning

VideoTIR introduces a reinforcement‑learning approach to improve long‑video understanding by encouraging multimodal large language models to use comprehensive multi‑level toolkits efficiently. It combines Zero‑RL and SFT cold‑starting strategies to help models retrieve and focus on meaningful video segments, images, and regions, thereby reducing hallucinations. The method includes Toolkit Action Grouped Policy Optimization (TAGPO) to streamline tool‑calling and a sandbox‑based trajectory synthesis framework for high‑quality data, achieving strong results on three long‑video QA benchmarks.

VIDiff: Translating Videos via Multi-Modal Instructions with Diffusion Models

VIDiff is a unified foundation model that uses diffusion techniques to perform a broad range of video tasks, including both understanding tasks like language‑guided video object segmentation and generative tasks such as video editing and enhancement. Unlike prior methods that focus on short clips and require time‑consuming tuning, VIDiff can edit and translate videos within seconds based on user instructions and employs an iterative auto‑regressive approach to maintain consistency in long‑form videos. The authors demonstrate convincing generative results across diverse input videos and written instructions, supported by qualitative and quantitative evidence.
