Screen-recorded web editing requests contain weak deictic expressions such as this'' and there,'' whose referents depend on speech, cursor trajectories, page state, and edit history. Such requests require intent recovery beyond the explicit specifications assumed by many existing web-editing benchmarks. We introduce Omni2Web, a bilingual benchmark of 918 instances spanning 13,907 edit steps. It defines three complementary tracks: Direct Editing evaluates webpage editing from recordings, Instruction Recovery measures explicit intent recovery, and Instruction Utility tests whether recovered instructions can drive a fixed code executor. We evaluate 17 open- and closed-source models. The best models attain 51.17 on the Edit Fidelity Score (EFS) for Direct Editing and 49.14 on the Instruction Recovery Score (IRS); under the fixed executor, the strongest recovered instructions reach 51.08 EFS, still far below the 89.69 EFS obtained with oracle instructions. Step-level analyses show that correct grounding does not guarantee successful edits, while some Omni models recover instructions that the fixed coding model executes substantially better than their direct edits. Controlled ablations further demonstrate the value of temporally aligned audiovisual evidence, while alternative judges preserve the leader and broad ordering. Together, these findings reveal substantial headroom in multimodal intent recovery and code execution and highlight the promise of pairing Omni rewriters with coding models.
Omni-modal language models are intended to jointly understand audio, visual inputs, and language, but benchmark gains can be inflated when visual evidence alone is enough to answer a query. We study whether current omni-modal benchmarks separate visual shortcuts from genuine audio-visual-language evidence integration, and how post-training behaves under a visually debiased evaluation setting. We audit nine omni-modal benchmarks with visual-only probing, remove visually solvable queries, and retain full subsets when filtering is undefined or would make comparisons unstable. This yields OmniClean, a cleaned evaluation view with 8,551 retained queries from 16,968 audited queries. On OmniClean, we evaluate OmniBoost, a three-stage post-training recipe based on Qwen2.5-Omni-3B: mixed bi-modal SFT, mixed-modality RLVR, and SFT on self-distilled data. Balanced bi-modal SFT gives limited and uneven gains, RLVR provides the first broad improvement, and self-distillation reshapes the benchmark profile. After SFT on self-distilled data, the 3B model reaches performance comparable to, and in aggregate slightly above, Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B-Instruct without using a stronger omni-modal teacher. These results show that omni-modal progress is easier to interpret when evaluation controls visual leakage, and that small omni-modal models can benefit from staged post-training with self-distilled omni-query supervision.

Current omni-modal benchmarks mainly evaluate models under settings where multiple modalities are provided simultaneously, while the ability to start from audio alone and actively search for cross-modal evidence remains underexplored. In this paper, we introduce \textbf{Omni-DeepSearch}, a benchmark for audio-driven omni-modal deep search. Given one or more audio clips and a related question, models must infer useful clues from audio, invoke text, image, and video search tools, and perform multi-hop reasoning to produce a short, objective, and verifiable answer. Omni-DeepSearch contains 640 samples across 15 fine-grained categories, covering four retrieval target modalities and four audio content types. A multi-stage filtering pipeline ensures audio dependence, retrieval necessity, visual modality necessity, and answer uniqueness. Experiments on recent closed-source and open-source omni-modal models show that this task remains highly challenging: the strongest evaluated model, Gemini-3-Pro, achieves only 43.44% average accuracy. Further analyses illustrate key bottlenecks in audio entity inference, query formulation, tool-use reliability, multi-hop retrieval, and cross-modal verification. These results highlight audio-driven omni-modal deep search as an important and underexplored direction for future multimodal agents.
While instruction-based video editing has advanced rapidly, real-world videos contain tightly coupled audio and visual signals, and editing one modality often requires coordinated changes in the other. Existing benchmarks primarily evaluate visual transformations on silent clips or isolated audio editing, leaving complex audio-visual editing and cross-modal consistency underexplored. We introduce AVE-Compass, a comprehensive benchmark with 145 curated source videos, 196 audio-visually coupled editing instructions, and 2,688 fine-grained checklist items. It evaluates Instruction Following, Fidelity Preserving, Realism, and Editing Intent through checklist-based MLLM judging and a dedicated realism rubric, complemented by automated cross-modal, video, and audio metrics. Extensive evaluation shows that state-of-the-art models still struggle to execute cross-modal instructions while preserving non-target content. We further propose AVE-Agent, a modular agent framework that decomposes complex instructions into dependent subtasks and iteratively improves editing results through self-reflection and evaluator feedback. AVE-Agent improves instruction execution, Fidelity Preserving, and audio-visual alignment in joint editing while maintaining competitive perceptual quality.
