The paper introduces MTAR, a training framework for autoregressive image generation that enhances performance through multi-token prediction, token-level contrastive regularization, and semantic dropping. These components address sparse supervision, improve representation discriminability, and accelerate training without affecting inference. On ImageNet, MTAR outperforms LlamaGen with lower FID and faster training, achieving comparable results in only a third of the iterations.
LeVJEPA is a video encoder that eliminates the need for architectural asymmetries, exponential-moving-average target encoders, stop-gradients, and capacity-limited predictors used in prior self‑supervised methods. It trains a single encoder with an invariance loss over global and local views, regularized by SIGReg to prevent collapse, and achieves strong performance with far less pretraining compute. The approach also allows block‑causal attention, making temporal ordering a property of the encoder itself, and matches or surpasses state‑of‑the‑art baselines on both appearance‑centric and motion‑centric benchmarks.

LongVU‑TTT is a causal test‑time training method for long‑video multimodal large language models that inserts a convolutional resampler with fast‑weight updates between the vision encoder and the LLM. The fast weights adapt per video and contextualize frame features before compression, while a hybrid selector keeps explicit visual evidence for downstream reasoning. Experiments show that TTT‑Conv outperforms TTT‑MLP and bidirectional Mamba2 on MLVU, and beats attention‑ and fixed‑state recurrent resamplers on three benchmarks, achieving competitive results on five video‑understanding tasks after reducing 512 frames to 128 LLM frames.
