Abstract

Existing vision-language models (VLMs) remain unreliable for fine-grained visual perception. In this report, we present WeVisOne-VL (WeChat Vision All-in-One), a powerful VLM that unifies object-level and pixel-level perception through structured next-token prediction. It supports multiple visual tasks including object detection, referring localization, counting, OCR, segmentation, and matting, enabling localization at any user-specific granularity, from points and boxes to masks and alpha mattes. Architecturally, we integrate a lightweight pixel decoder into the VLM via a special token to generate instance-level pixel outputs. We train the model with a three-stage curriculum SFT followed by mixed-task RL. Across over 30 benchmarks, WeVisOne-VL demonstrates leading performance on both object-level and pixel-level tasks, while maintaining robust rejection for object-absent queries. By releasing WeVisOne-VL to the open-source community, we hope to advance VLMs from broad visual understanding toward truly reliable perception systems for real-world deployment.

Editor’s rationale

Heuristic triage from title and abstract text only, not a reading of the paper. Cues found: method (we propose); breadth (many tasks); verification (multiple benchmarks, code released); stakes (general AI). Red flags: derivative (we apply).
