  1. 1. OpenVLHarness: Real World Visual Agentic Tool-Use with Multimodal Memory

    Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have made rapid progress on visual reasoning, yet many tasks require evidence that is difficult to obtain through internal reasoning alone: our controlled study on 22 benchmarks…

    Verdict: Notable██████░░░░5.7
  2. 2. SolarRenderer: Few-Step Generative Reference Rendering

    Game engines and coding agents can specify the layout, motion, and camera of a scene, yet turning such coarse structure into realistic video requires a renderer that follows the structure and completes the appearance…
