Omni-modal models have expanded multimodal interaction across vision, audio, speech, and language. However, their training is predominantly organized around semantic descriptions and general-purpose objectives, leaving physical attributes, interaction states, and causal mechanisms only partially specified. This gap is not simply a matter of modality coverage: adding more modalities does not by itself provide the supervision needed to connect observations with the physical structure of the world. We present OmniFysics-Nano-V2, a compact omni-modal model for physical-world perception and understanding. The model supports image, video, audio, speech, and text inputs within a shared reasoning framework, together with text and speech generation. To address the lack of explicit physical supervision, we construct a dual-branch physics-aware data pipeline that grounds salient objects in structured physical attributes and aligns visual changes with acoustic events, intermediate responses, and interaction outcomes. To address homogeneous training objectives, we curate reinforcement-learning prompts by reward diversity and adopt a two-stage Group Relative Policy Optimization curriculum that progresses from general task correctness to fine-grained physical perceptual reasoning. Experiments across multimodal, audio-visual, and physical reasoning benchmarks show that the proposed data and training strategy improves physical-world understanding while preserving broad omni-modal competence. The proposed model achieves leading result on 17 of 21 benchmarks against SOTA omni-modal models. By equipping AI systems with both omni-modal and physical-world perception capabilities, OmniFysics-Nano-V2 is poised to become a cornerstone of next-generation Physical AI.

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.

Assembly, wear, and component replacement perturb the sensor extrinsics and joint zeros encoded by a humanoid CAD model. Existing procedures calibrate one sensor pair or require external fiducials. Using only robot-native motion and onboard sensing, we present OmniCalib, a target-free workflow that calibrates the full upper limbs---all 14 arm joint zeros and the extrinsics of both wrist and chest cameras---as well as lower limbs and the multi-camera head rig. Each module matches a robot-native task to a parameter block, checks observability, and writes only supported corrections to the CAD model. Our depth ICP method recovers all 14 arm joint zeros and calibrates all RGB-D camera extrinsics without any calibration target. Relative to CAD, the estimated extrinsic corrections are 10.56 mm and 1.74 degrees for the left wrist, 6.33 mm and 1.25 degrees for the right wrist, and 9.81 mm and 0.929 degrees for the chest RGB-D camera. ICP point-to-plane residual is 2.09 mm. On the same injected offsets, ICP and ArUco recover all 14 joint zeros below the 0.1-degree encoder-resolution reference. On an AGIBOT A3 Ultra humanoid, four static double-support stances recover all 12 lower-limb joint-zero offsets injected with an RMS error of 0.063 degrees. The head module combines multi-camera visual odometry with legged odometry and dynamic compensation through the live ROS transform tree. Using only planar walking, it attains a mean SO(3) error of 1.061 degrees across three sequences. The best sequence reaches 0.775 degrees, competitive with iKalibr at 0.902 degrees from rich 6-DOF excitation. Rig-relative angles repeat within 0.140 degrees. Injection recovery and held-out tests validate each observable block.

Agile quadrotor avoidance of fast-moving obstacles requires anticipating collisions and selecting feasible maneuvers within short reaction windows. Reliable predictive avoidance remains challenging because sparse range observations do not directly reveal obstacle motion, while online trajectory optimizers either scale poorly with obstacle count or remain efficient at the expense of reliability in dense, high-speed encounters. We present OmniRisk, an omnidirectional planning framework that learns trajectory-level risk offline for efficient onboard evasion. A fixed-dimensional tensor combines LiDAR range panoramas, dynamic masks, and Cartesian surface velocities to represent geometry and motion jointly. We formulate an asymmetric risk field aligned with obstacle velocity that emphasizes approaching interactions and attenuates receding ones. Accumulating this risk along predicted relative trajectories provides dense supervision and discourages unnecessary hesitation after obstacles pass. A dual-branch circular convolutional network predicts terminal boundary states and dynamic risks for candidate primitives over an omnidirectional anchor lattice in a single forward pass, followed by selection and closed-form reconstruction of the selected candidate primitive. This formulation removes online risk accumulation along trajectories and makes risk-inference cost independent of obstacle count. OmniRisk enables efficient onboard avoidance, with real-world flights demonstrating consecutive evasive maneuvers at relative encounter speeds up to 15 m/s without fine-tuning. Code is available at https://github.com/VANdexj/OmniRisk.

Video diffusion models are stochastic and hard to control: precise content often requires repeated sampling without guaranteed success, and long-horizon scenes drift in appearance, interactions, and temporal coherence. Agentic visual creation provides explicit references, editable 3D scenes, or executable game states for stable control, but does not by itself guarantee high object or character fidelity. Combining the two can enable stable, high-quality generation. To realize this combination, we present LynnReal-Omni, a native multimodal video generation framework built on a 32B shared multimodal diffusion transformer that unifies text-to-video, image-conditioned generation, reference-guided generation, structural control, editing, degraded video restoration, and long-video generation. It accepts heterogeneous visual inputs, including appearance references, editable 3D renders, and game recordings, allowing agents to compose visual conditions within a unified model. We also train a dedicated 27B Flash shared multimodal diffusion transformer for real-time rendering. We build a systematic data pipeline for video cleaning, subject association, multimodal annotation, and aligned control construction, yielding a curated corpus of multi-shot audiovisual segments, and introduce MSAVP, a 100-prompt, 20-metric evaluation design that separates instruction following, generating plausibility, visual quality, temporal behavior, and audio coordination. LynnReal-Omni-Flash further reduces inference cost through model and decoding acceleration, including a lightweight VAE decoder; on one H100, warm generation and decoding of a 22-frame 540p video take 843 ms with LynnReal-Omni and 377 ms with Flash. These results provide a foundation for real-time streaming video generation, making LynnReal-Omni a unified, controllable, and efficient basis for agentic visual creation.

Streaming omni-modal models must decide what and when to answer from the video chunks and synchronized audio observed so far. Visual cues often support an interpretation before an utterance or sound event is complete. If that interpretation enters memory as a fact, later reasoning can keep relaying it even after audio contradicts it. We call this failure premature cross-modal commitment. We propose Omni-Streaming Thinking (OST), which generates structured outputs that include evidence observed so far, forecasts of future evidence, and claims based on this evidence. Each claim is initially marked as pending and linked to a future verification interval. Audio and visual evidence are stored separately, and OST checks a claim against the evidence from the specified modality at the end of the verification interval. When contradictory evidence is detected, a refutation process reduces the influence of the claim and its dependent states, and then guides a state update using the new evidence. An answer gate decides whether the answer-critical claims meet the conditions for giving a response. Using a frozen Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B-Instruct backbone with lightweight adaptation, OST outperforms the strongest open baselines on five streaming and audio-visual benchmarks by more than 10% relative on average. We also introduce OST-DiagBench, which holds video fixed and edits audio to test agreement, absence, contradiction, coexistence, and subtitle-speech conflict. OST reaches d-prime = 2.95, compared with at most 1.38 for open baselines, while reducing vision-induced auditory hallucinations.

Recovering metric 3D geometry from monocular images is a fundamental computer vision task, yet current methods remain heavily fragmented by fixed camera model assumptions and inflexible input schemes. We present OmniPoint, a unified framework designed to generalize metric reconstruction across diverse imaging sensors, including pinhole, fisheye, and equirectangular projections, while accommodating varying geometric priors. To overcome projection rigidity, OmniPoint abandons conventional planar depth regression. It instead adopts a decoupled ray and distance representation alongside a decoupled training objective, explicitly separating the camera projection model from the scene structure. To address the severe scarcity of training data for alternative cameras, we introduce a bidirectional augmentation strategy that explicitly bridges labeled perspective data and unlabeled omnidirectional domains in 3D space. Furthermore, to seamlessly integrate optional inputs like camera intrinsics or sparse depth without destabilizing the network through feature distribution shifts, we propose a robust information injection mechanism. This mechanism utilizes learnable input state embeddings to resolve architectural ambiguity and applies vectorized Gaussian smoothing to densify irregular measurements. Extensive experiments demonstrate that OmniPoint achieves state-of-the-art zero-shot performance across multiple benchmarks, establishing a robust new standard for unified monocular 3D reconstruction.

Contrastive language-image learning (CLIP) has become a key paradigm for remote sensing vision-language understanding. However, existing remote sensing contrastive learning methods are mostly built on RGB-oriented CLIP architectures, making it difficult to exploit heterogeneous sensors such as SAR, multi-spectral imaging (MSI), and hyperspectral imaging (HSI). To address this limitation, we propose OmniRSCLIP, an end-to-end contrastive learning framework that supports multi-source sensor inputs for remote sensing vision-language modeling. The key idea is to extend CLIP beyond its fixed RGB input interface without breaking the pretrained visual knowledge. To this end, OmniRSCLIP introduces Spectral-Spatial Basis Decomposition (SSBD), which formulates arbitrary-channel adaptation as a basis recomposition problem: pretrained CLIP patch embeddings provide transferable spatial bases, while wavelength-conditioned coefficients span sensor-specific embedding kernels within a constrained visual prior space. This design avoids forcing heterogeneous sensors into a fixed-channel input space, while aligning them in a unified image-text semantic space. We further introduce a spectral-context-aware mask-based contrastive learning scheme to suppress modality-specific redundant features and enhance fine-grained image-text alignment. Finally, to support multi-modal training, we construct OmniRS5M, the first large-scale remote sensing image-text corpus covering RGB, SAR, MSI, and HSI. Experiments on retrieval, zero-shot classification, and semantic localization show that OmniRSCLIP preserves strong RGB-domain performance while effectively extending CLIP to heterogeneous remote sensing modalities.

Building an omni-modal foundation model means evaluating it across text, image, video, and audio. Excellent evaluation toolkits exist for each modality, but their inference engines, prompt conventions, and metric implementations are mutually incompatible, so practitioners end up maintaining separate environments for every toolchain and still struggle to compare results across them. OmniEvaluator grew out of this need in our own model development: rather than reimplementing benchmarks, it connects existing inference engines and curated evaluation libraries at a higher level, exposing four inference backends, four evaluation frameworks, and over a thousand benchmarks through a single interface. Every run is recorded as an artifact capturing the full configuration for exact reproduction, and results flow into a shared dashboard for cross-model comparison. A federated mode shares GPU inference servers across concurrent evaluations, and a built-in verifier, small enough to run on CPU, keeps its score stable across engines and prompts where rule-based scoring fluctuates under configuration mismatch, matching cost-efficient commercial LLM judges without their recurring API cost. The system, demo video, and dashboard are publicly available. (https://github.com/naver-ai/omni-evaluator)

Recent advances in foundation models have enabled AI scientists to automate increasingly complete research workflows, from hypothesis generation and code execution to manuscript preparation. Yet workflow coverage alone does not provide access to the full evidence on which scientific discovery depends. Existing systems typically reason over text, code, labels, or precomputed summaries, leaving scientifically decisive spatial, temporal, cross-channel, and procedural relations unavailable to the agent. We introduce OmniScientist, an end-to-end, omni-modal AI scientist that conducts multidisciplinary research directly from heterogeneous raw evidence. A perception layer and 3 autonomous agents for ideation, experiment, and writeup operate within a deterministic pipeline, allowing observations to shape research questions, experimental decisions, and final claims throughout the research lifecycle. By running idea, rigour, and claim checks in code, the system enforces novelty screening, statistical validity, execution provenance, and numerical traceability. We evaluate OmniScientist on 36 real-data cases spanning 5 discipline families, 4 families of scientific evidence, and modalities including images, signals, audio, video, 3-D structures, trajectories, tables, formulae, and graphs. The system completes the full path from raw data to a compiled manuscript in all 36 cases and achieves a mean overall paper score of 6.3 with the reference reasoning backbone. In paired comparisons against a blind variant that receives only precomputed scalar features, direct perception improves all 7 evaluation dimensions and wins 85% of head-to-head judgments. These results show that lifecycle-wide perception is essential for evidence-grounded scientific discovery and provides a practical path toward broadly capable AI scientists.

Omni-modal dialogue models can understand multimodal inputs and synthesize spoken replies, but a spoken answer still leaves the agent visually absent. We introduce \textbf{Ex-Omni-2D}, a framework that answers a multimodal query with coordinated text, personalized speech, and reference-conditioned video. The dialogue model first writes a structured \textit{Visual Thought Plan} (VTP) for scene, emotion, and motion, then generates the response text and multi-codebook speech units. These speech units are decoded into audio and aligned with video frames, giving the speech and avatar modules a common timing signal while allowing them to learn from different data sources. The video module is trained as a full-sequence Teacher conditioned on reference appearance, VTP semantics, and frame-aligned speech units. We further explore to distill it into a few-step block-causal \emph{Streaming Student}; its Prefix Streaming mechanism carries the previous clean latent into the next chunk and is analyzed as a partial mitigation for late-chunk subject drift. At $400\times720$/$720\times400$, the four-step four-GPU Student provides incremental output with lower startup latency than the full-sequence Teacher.

Understanding dynamic sound sources requires jointly determining what produces a sound, where the source is located, and how it moves over time. Yet existing audio-language models often represent clips as global acoustic events, while vision-language models lack the spatial audio cues needed to localize and track individual sources. To evaluate this missing capability, we introduce ST-OmniQA, a spatio-temporal audio-visual question-answering benchmark built from panoramic videos paired with synchronized first-order Ambisonics (FOA) audio of moving sound sources. It contains 40K videos and 400K question-answer pairs organized into four capability levels covering sound-event recognition, direction of arrival, source distance, motion trajectories, and temporally grounded audio-visual reasoning. Building on this benchmark, we propose ST-Omni-R1, which integrates FOA-derived semantic and trajectory representations with panoramic visual context and is trained through progressive curriculum learning and reasoning-tree reinforcement learning. ST-Omni-R1 achieves 77.83% average semantic accuracy across the four levels, compared with 37.28% for the best evaluated baseline. Results on three public spatial-audio benchmarks further indicate that its learned spatial and motion representations transfer beyond ST-OmniQA.

Omnimodal language models (OLMs) enable unified audio-visual understanding, but processing long joint token sequences makes inference computationally prohibitive. While recent token compression methods attempt to alleviate this burden, compressing modalities in isolation often destroys the temporal cross-modal anchors necessary for coherent reasoning. We introduce Omni2LoRA, a two-stage framework for efficient parametric memory compression via coherence-preserving context distillation that bypasses the token bottleneck entirely. First, a Perceiver hypernetwork processes intermediate representations from a frozen OLM to encode the multimodal context into a full-rank Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) adapter in a single forward pass. To prevent the resulting parameter footprint from scaling linearly with recording length, we optimize a discrete rank allocation policy via Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) that uses a modality-ablated counterfactual reward to explicitly penalize the loss of audio-visual coherence, forcing the model to allocate its fixed sub-linear rank budget to synergistic cross-modal anchors rather than isolated visual features. Across three omnimodal backbones, Omni2LoRA operating at a 30% rank budget outperforms direct full-context inference and strong token-compression baselines (OmniZip, OMAC, O-MARC) on four audio-visual question answering benchmarks, improving average accuracy by 8-12% over the strongest baseline and remaining stable under compression ratios as tight as 75%, where token-pruning methods degrade sharply. By converting multimodal memory into a fixed-budget, reusable parameter state, our method drives answer-time multimodal-token load to zero, cutting per-query Time to First Token (TTFT) by up to 12x relative to full-context inference and amortizing to under 0.5s after a handful of queries.

Learning disentangled representations is a key requirement for developing versatile, general-purpose, and sustainable models in multi-modal wearable computing. However, existing approaches do not operate as full-stack wearable processors, i.e., they do not simultaneously address task-specific classification performance, disentangled and interpretable representation learning, fusion, and generative modeling of highly heterogeneous multi-modal time series. To address this gap, we introduce Omni-modal Variational Decomposition Autoencoders (OmniDecVAEs), a framework that efficiently learns multi-purpose representations in a unified and scalable manner from arbitrarily many modalities. OmniDecVAEs extend DecVAEs by learning modality-conditioned time-frequency latent subspaces through a multi-view self-supervised decomposition loss and a shared asymmetric autoencoder (AE) architecture. Results on a challenging omni-modal human activity recognition (HAR) setting with up to thirty modalities, demonstrate the ability of OmniDecVAEs to learn full-stack wearable representations. When compared to transformer-based and VAE-based methods, OmniDecVAEs full-stack disentangled representation properties lead to accuracy improvements of 1.01% and 6.75% in activity and identity recognition, respectively. Furthermore, OmniDecVAEs synthesize realistic omni-modal time-frequency data that manifest with enhanced reconstructions (mean absolute error improves by 76.84%) and distributional similarity between real and synthetic data (maximum mean discrepancy improves by 13.85%). Our results highlight OmniDecVAEs potential as a lightweight model suitable for intelligent edge wearables and clinical healthcare, unifying processing requirements and abilities in a single model, through its enhanced representational capacity, modality-invariant spatial complexity (4.1M parameters), and real-time latency.

Omni-domain infrared small target (IRST) detection is crucial for infrared surveillance, yet remains challenging due to heterogeneous imaging domains and inconsistent target characteristics. Previous deep learning-based methods have been developed for visual-only paradigms and achieved promising performance on domain-specific tasks. However, existing methods follow the task-specific supervised learning paradigm. This paradigm simplifies the full-scene infrared observations to sparse target supervision, discarding the semantics that remain invariant across heterogeneous domains. Consequently, detection performance suffers substantially under domain shifts. To handle this issue, we introduce \textbf{``understand before detect''}, a paradigm that formulates omni-domain IRST detection as an understanding-driven process, where holistic infrared target understanding precedes precise detection. Building on this paradigm, we propose \textbf{JinSight}, which first develops holistic IRST understanding through language supervision and then transfers the learned cross-domain representations to precise small-target detection. By grounding infrared representations in language semantics, JinSight enables a single model to generalize across heterogeneous infrared domains. We then introduce Latent Semantic Interaction (LSI), which exchanges language-aligned global semantics with fine-grained spatial features in a compact low-rank space. To address the lack of multimodal omni-domain IRST benchmarks, we build \textbf{OmniIRST-VL}, the first large-scale, highly diverse vision--language dataset for omni-domain IRST detection. It comprises over 39k annotations across six complementary instruction tasks covering both scene-level understanding and target-centric reasoning.

Recent vision-language models (VLMs) can generate executable CAD programs from images, but existing methods mainly target coarse, general-purpose 3D objects and rarely address the fine-grained geometry and millimeter-level tolerances required in industrial mechanical design. We introduce OmniMech, the first million-scale benchmark for evaluating VLMs on executable CAD generation from industrial manufacturing data. OmniMech contains more than 251,000 fully dimensioned and toleranced 2D orthographic drawings, paired with native CAD models, multi-view renderings, mesh, STEP and B-rep representations, and rich semantic annotations. The benchmark includes four tasks: (1) parametric CAD program synthesis from engineering drawings; (2) diagram-to-3D reasoning for geometrically and structurally consistent reconstruction; (3) annotation-grounded reasoning over dimensions, symbols, feature callouts, and manufacturing constraints; and (4) tool-augmented agentic reasoning using visualization, measurement, CAD execution, and verification tools. Experiments show that current VLMs and CAD-specialized models still struggle with executable program synthesis, fine-grained 3D reconstruction, and reliable enforcement of dimensions and tolerances. We will release the benchmark data, evaluation code, and tool interfaces to support future research.

Omni-modal large language models (Omni-LLMs) have achieved remarkable performance on audio-visual understanding tasks, but processing long and highly redundant visual and audio token sequences incurs substantial computational overhead, demanding aggressive token compression for efficient deployment. Existing methods often degrade at low token budgets: pre-LLM compression may discard structurally important and globally distributed evidence, whereas inner-LLM compression often underexploits query-conditioned audio-visual collaboration. To address these limitations, we propose OmniPack, a training-free framework that coordinates structural compression before the LLM with task-relevant semantic refinement within the LLM. Before the LLM, OmniPack removes structural redundancy through modality-specific importance, global coverage, and similarity-aware merging. After sufficient multimodal interaction, it further consolidates diverse, task-relevant representations through textual guidance and audio-visual collaboration. Extensive experiments on five benchmarks with three Omni-LLM backbones demonstrate that OmniPack consistently achieves the best performance-efficiency trade-off across diverse retention ratios, outperforming all existing methods. Notably, on Qwen2.5-Omni-7B, OmniPack preserves 98.0% of the original performance while reducing FLOPs to 16.7%, and still retains 92.9% of the original performance with only 6.8% of the original FLOPs.

Drones in human environments often lack spatially grounded in- terfaces for situated communication. We present OmniAI, an em- bodied aerial agent that supports surface-adaptive interaction by switching projection between an onboard screen and nearby en- vironmental surfaces. A servo-actuated MEMS laser projector renders text-and-image responses from a web-augmented LLM pipeline. Projection surfaces are detected online using RGB-D sensing and RANSAC plane fitting, without pre-mapped geometry. OmniAI provides functionally equivalent voice and gesture con- trol for both drone motion and projected content. By combining speech, mid-air gestures, adaptive projection, and aerial mobility, OmniAI demonstrates a mobile spatial AR interface for context- aware human-drone interaction.

Quantum error correction (QEC) is indispensable for scalable fault-tolerant quantum computing. However, discovering QEC codes that remain effective is challenging, as logical performance depends on the interplay between code structure, hardware, syndrome extraction, and decoding, which often impose competing requirements. Here we introduce OmniQEC, an efficient AI scientist for discovering QEC codes suited to deployment on modern quantum processors. OmniQEC formulates QEC design as an iterative discovery process in which an orchestrator, implemented by advanced large language models (LLMs), coordinates code generation, code-level screening, syndrome-extraction synthesis, and decoder-based circuit evaluation. At its core, OmniQEC combines a self-evolving reasoning mechanism with a slow--fast synergistic workflow: a fast loop explores candidates using inexpensive code-level proxies, whereas a slow loop performs physically grounded circuit-level evaluation and feeds the resulting evidence back into the search. We evaluate OmniQEC across four qLDPC construction families, three LLM backends, and $14$ total-physical-qubit budgets per backend. The discovered codes show steadily improving logical-error suppression with increasing physical-qubit budgets and outperform the BB codes with $[\![72,12,6]\!]$ and $[\![144,12,12]\!]$ under complete-implementation budgets of 98 and 240 physical qubits, respectively. The discovered codes are hardware-friendly and may be of independent interest for practical QEC implementation. These findings pave the way towards LLM-assisted QEC discovery grounded in physically informed code--circuit--decoder co-design.

While text-to-image models exhibit remarkable visual fidelity, they frequently violate fundamental physical commonsense. Existing benchmarks often rely on coarse-grained descriptions, failing to diagnose the mastery of specific physical principles. Moreover, the high stochasticity of generative processes causes current prompt optimization methods to suffer from gradient hallucinations, where optimizers are misled by transient visual artifacts rather than systemic flaws. To address these challenges, we introduce OmniPhys, a rigorous benchmark of 1,551 samples grounded in a Physical Knowledge Graph. By aligning PhET simulations with standard curricula, OmniPhys operationalizes a knowledge-to-scenario pipeline that performs diagnostic stress tests via a dual-path verification protocol. We further propose OmniPrompt, an iterative framework that treats physical alignment as a discrete optimization problem. For each query, OmniPrompt aggregates K stochastic images into a per-query feedback buffer. Across training, it further merges feedback from batches of B queries before each meta-policy update, filtering seed and query-local noise. Evaluations across 12 representative text-to-image models reveal universal physical bottlenecks. Results demonstrate that OmniPrompt significantly enhances physical consistency across diverse backbones, proving the transferability and efficacy of our evolved meta-policies. The code and data are available at https://github.com/zjukg/OmniPhys

Recent generative models are moving beyond silent video or standalone audio synthesis toward the joint generation of synchronized audio and video. Despite this progress, jointly generating audio and video with fine-grained cross-modal correspondence remains challenging due to their fundamental structural differences. Most existing methods use audio and video VAEs trained separately. As a result, the two latent spaces lack cross-modal alignment, leaving the downstream generative model to learn cross-modal synchronization from scratch. We present OmniVAE, a jointly trained audio-video VAE that learns fine-grained semantic alignment between audio and video latent representations. Beyond reconstruction, OmniVAE uses a segment-level audio-video contrastive objective to capture temporal-semantic correspondence and align the two latent spaces. In parallel, it distills features from pretrained modality-specific semantic encoders into each modality, improving the downstream learnability of both latent spaces. Extensive experiments show that both objectives consistently improve the learnability of the latent spaces, translating into higher generation quality and more accurate cross-modal synchronization in downstream text-to-audio-video generation. These findings underscore the importance of learning unified representations as a foundation for omnimodal modeling.1

High-resolution image and video diffusion models, including SD3, FLUX, and recent video diffusion transformers, have substantially improved generative quality but remain expensive at inference time because they repeatedly evaluate attention-heavy denoisers over many sampling steps. We address this inefficiency by exploiting redundancy in intermediate diffusion features rather than changing model weights or retraining. We identify four complementary redundancy sources in image and video generation: intra-frame, inter-frame, motion, and denoising-step redundancy. Based on this analysis, we propose OmniCache, a unified hierarchical caching framework that performs multidimensional feature reuse through Token Cache, Frame Cache, Block Cache, and Layered Cache. Unlike token-merging baselines that average matched features, OmniCache uses similarity matching to select cacheable features, skips redundant computation, and restores positionally consistent cached activations, preserving feature order and spatial-temporal structure. The resulting framework reuses spatial features in temporal layers and temporal features in spatial layers, while Layered Cache captures cross-step redundancy at the model-layer level. Across SD3, SVD-XT, and Latte, OmniCache reduces inference latency by up to 35%, 25%, and 28%, respectively, while maintaining visual fidelity and motion coherence in a training-free setting.

Recent advances in diffusion-based generative models have enabled real-time audio-driven avatar generation and unified audio-visual synthesis, providing a promising foundation for interactive avatar systems. However, extending unified audio-visual synthesis to real-time interactive streaming remains challenging, as the generation horizon is unknown in advance and the generated identity may drift over long-term generation. To address these challenges, we propose OmniMate, a unified framework for open-ended real-time interactive audio-visual avatar generation. OmniMate jointly synthesizes visual content, speech, and sound effects in real time, enabling natural and immersive multi-turn interactions. To achieve adaptive response progression, we introduce a Generation Progress Controller (GPC) that explicitly models the generation progress of each streaming chunk, allowing the model to complete responses according to the desired progress and achieve seamless transitions between execution and listening states. To preserve long-term cross-modal identity consistency, we propose a Multi-Reference Conditioning Module (MRCM), which leverages multiple reference images and a reference speech segment to provide persistent visual and speaker identity cues throughout long-duration streaming interactions. Extensive experiments on an interaction-oriented adaptation of VerseBench demonstrate that OmniMate achieves high-quality, low-latency streaming generation while maintaining strong long-term audio-visual consistency. The results further show that OmniMate supports realistic, coherent, and responsive interactive avatar experiences over extended multi-turn conversations.

The goal of this paper is to reduce the input token cost of Omni-modal large language models (Omni-LLMs) at inference time. Omni-LLMs reason jointly over audio, video and text, but the cost of the three streams is highly unbalanced: visual tokens account for the vast majority of the input, and are highly redundant. In this paper, we propose ReMo, a training-free framework that compresses visual tokens by redistributing their information across modalities: a visual token is kept only if its information appears nowhere else. ReMo achieves this in two ways: (i) it aligns audio and video in a common embedding space, and removes visual tokens already explained by the audio or by other visual tokens; and (ii) it replaces object-level visual tokens with compact text proxies, short descriptions of each object and its location, conveying the same content in far fewer tokens. On Qwen2.5-Omni at two model scales, ReMo removes 54% of the input tokens with no loss in accuracy. Indeed, it slightly exceeds the full-token model, reaching 101.2% and 101.3% of its average accuracy over five audio-visual benchmarks.

Omni-modal models provide a unified interface for text, images, and audio. However, improving these abilities together remains difficult, as post-training on pooled multimodal data often fails to preserve the strengths of modality teachers. On-policy distillation (OPD) has recently become popular in model post-training. It samples responses from the current student and compares the teacher's and student's next-token distributions along those responses, yielding dense supervision while reducing the mismatch between training and inference. Despite these advantages, standard OPD does not readily extend to several modality teachers. Their guidance may favor conflicting changes to the shared model, while matching each teacher's next-token distribution can prevent the student from moving beyond that teacher. To address these challenges, we propose On-Policy Omni Distillation (OPOD), which consolidates text, image, and audio teachers into one omni model. OPOD routes each response to the corresponding teacher, controls the teachers independently, and applies guidance only when the teacher assigns a higher probability to the generated token. The selected teacher also evaluates answer confidence and whether the reasoning increases support for the answer. Extensive experiments on twelve benchmarks show that OPOD achieves the best average at three model scales, reaching 70.8, 51.7, and 46.2 and outperforming the strongest comparator by 2.1, 1.8, and 1.7 points. At 30B, it surpasses the base model and pooled RL training on all twelve benchmarks, and ranks first or second on eleven even when the teachers are included. Only the student is retained for deployment.

Long audio-video reasoning is difficult for omnimodal LLMs because the decisive evidence is often sparse, cross-modal, and too expensive to preserve with uniformly high-fidelity inputs. We introduce OmniReasoner, a tool-use post-training framework for Thinking with Long Audio-Video: omni-modal LLMs learn, via supervised fine-tuning and reinforcement learning, to decide whether and where to call a zoom-in tool before answering. OmniReasoner first builds a low-cost global preview of the full stream and then, when needed, calls the zoom-in tool with a requested temporal interval for higher-fidelity visual and audio inspection before answering. Because the model observes different sampling granularities before and after this call -- a sparse global preview and a denser local clip -- we introduce TimeAnchor, which keeps the tool's temporal argument valid and round-trip-consistent across these granularities, rather than tied to frame indices from a particular sampling rate. To make this tool-use behavior trainable without expensive manual interval annotation, we build a Temporal Augmented Data Engine that synthesizes tool-use post-training trajectories by video editing and composition. Experiments across omnimodal and video benchmarks show that OmniReasoner improves both answer accuracy and temporal grounding while concentrating high-fidelity computation on informative regions. Code is available at https://github.com/RockyChen0205/OmniReasoner.

We present S1-Omni, a unified multimodal reasoning model for scientific understanding, prediction, and generation. AI for Science (AI4S) has advanced significantly through domain-specific models, tool-augmented LLMs, and scientific language models. However, model capabilities remain highly fragmented, limiting the joint modeling of heterogeneous data, scientific laws, and expert knowledge. S1-Omni addresses this gap by consolidating these capabilities into a single, coherent scientific reasoning model. The architecture of S1-Omni is built upon three core components: unified representation of scientific data, natural-world knowledge alignment, and decoding for domain-specific tasks. First, S1-Omni maps natural-language instructions and scientific objects, including CIF, SMILES, protein sequences, spectra, and scientific images, into a shared representation space. Second, it incorporates scientific laws and expert knowledge into data construction and training, enabling the model to reason from scientific evidence. Third, it performs task-specific decoding to support a broad range of applications, including property prediction, spectrum-to-molecular generation, protein site and structure prediction, and scientific image generation and editing. S1-Omni is trained on S1-Omni-Corpus, which covers 200 scientific tasks and contains millions of reasoning samples, and is evaluated on over 60 scientific benchmarks. It outperforms GPT-5.5 and Gemini-3.1-Pro on most benchmarks and matches or surpasses domain-specific models on several benchmarks. Overall, S1-Omni provides a practical path toward unified scientific modeling.

Omni-modal evidence-seeking QA requires agents to answer questions whose evidence is sparsely distributed across videos, audio, images, web pages, and computation results. Existing agentic multimodal systems often leave evidence in scratchpads, tool trajectories, or free-form histories, making it difficult to track what has been grounded, what remains missing, and when the evidence is sufficient to answer. We propose Omni-Decision, a training-free evidence-state system that turns omni-modal QA into a query-scoped evidence-closure process. For each query, Omni-Decision maintains a structured evidence state containing confirmed evidence, unresolved conflicts, fact and computation dependencies, and open evidence needs. A shared state view conditions planning, evidence acquisition, validation, repair, and finalization. Heterogeneous observations from media, web, computation, and verification modules are normalized, judged, and committed through deterministic state updates. This design enables targeted evidence acquisition, preserves sparse cross-modal cues, and provides inspectable control over repair and stopping. Omni-Decision achieves 45.6% accuracy on OmniGAIA and 58.3% on WorldSense, improving over the baselines by +27.3 and +30.2 percentage points, respectively. No-state ablations and trajectory audits further support the role of explicit evidence-state control in multi-step omni-modal evidence seeking.

Previous feed-forward 4D reconstruction methods either predict per-frame static point clouds, ignoring foreground motion, or estimate point cloud trajectories while being limited to small camera motions. This restricts their ability to aggregate observations over time and reconstruct complete dynamic scenes under large viewpoint changes. To address this limitation, we propose OmniX, a feed-forward 4D reconstruction framework that predicts dense 3D point trajectories for every pixel from videos with large camera motion. OmniX decouples dynamic motion modeling from static geometry prediction and represents motion using a compact set of dynamic tokens. By leveraging the sparse and low-rank structure of 3D motion, these tokens generate trajectory fields for all pixels across all images while efficiently preserving global interactions. To facilitate training, we further build an automatic UE5-based 4D data engine and introduce a large-scale dataset containing 80K scenes and 1.28M multi-view videos with full geometric annotations. OmniX achieves state-of-the-art performance on dense 3D point trajectory prediction and 3D point tracking, while also demonstrating competitive results on video depth estimation and camera pose estimation.

Recent advances in large-scale multimodal models have drivenremarkable progress in vision-language tasks; however, comprehensiveomni-modal understanding remains under-explored, largely due to thescarcity of datasets with rich, explicitly aligned auditory cues. To bridgethis gap, we present AVDC (Audio-Visual Decoupled Captions), a large-scaledataset designed to disentangle visual and auditory semantics. Specifi-cally, we propose an automated pipeline that leverages off-the-shelf mod-els to annotate videos with tripartite captions: visual-only (V), audio-only (A), and joint audio-visual (AV). This decoupled structure explic-itly captures both modality-specific nuances and complex cross-modalinteractions. Building upon this, we introduce AVDC-QA-CoT, a Chain-of-Thought augmented question-answering dataset to foster audio-visualreasoning. To fully exploit these resources, we employ a two-stage train-ing paradigm: omni-modal caption generation pre-training on AVDC, fol-lowed by instruction tuning on AVDC-QA-CoT. Extensive experiments acrossdiverse downstream tasks, spanning video captioning, audio-centric anal-ysis, and omni-modal benchmarks, demonstrate consistent and signifi-cant performance gains, showing the efficacy of our proposed datasetsand training strategy in advancing omni-modal perception. Code anddataset are related on https://radiant0726.github.io/AVDC-web/.

The application of lightweight Large Language Models in rule-based scientific domains remains severely limited by their tendency to mimic linguistic patterns rather than reproduce axiomatic reasoning, causing frequent hallucinations. Here, we show that G-Frame, an adaptive multi-agent framework integrating Bayesian and team game principles, establishes an automated closed-loop for high-quality data synthesis and model training. By forcing the internalization of domain constraints through structured reasoning, we synthesized a specialized corpus of 363,045 chains-of-thought and 199,589 question-answer pairs. The resulting 7B model OmniChem achieves performance parity with GPT 4o mini on custom benchmarks and ChemBench while exhibiting a 79.46% reduction in hallucinations relative to its base architecture. We further demonstrate the advanced capabilities of OmniChem in molecular design and synthesis planning. This work establishes a scalable paradigm utilizing adaptive multi-agents to overcome inherent reasoning deficiencies, offering a feasible pathway for accelerating knowledge discovery in specialized scientific fields.

Omni-directional (360°) cameras provide embodied agents with a holistic view of their surroundings, making them suited for directional reasoning in tasks such as navigation and object search. Existing Vision Language Models (VLMs) project 360° observations to 2D equirectangular projection (ERP) images and process them using architectures designed for perspective images. However, they ignore the spherical nature of 360° observations, where each pixel represents a viewing direction relative to the agent. Consequently, their direction estimates often become inconsistent under camera view transformations caused by agent motion. This limitation is particularly critical for map-free navigation, where the agent must continuously estimate the target direction in its egocentric frame. We propose EAGOR, a training-free, geometry-aware framework for embodied 360° directional reasoning. Instead of predicting target directions as ERP image coordinates, EAGOR formulates directional reasoning as recursive Bayesian estimation directly on the sphere. It maintains a continuous belief over target directions and propagates it equivariantly under agent motion without training the backbone VLMs. To achieve this, we introduce the Spherical Harmonic Belief Field (SH-BF), whose spherical harmonic representation provides a globally defined, rotation-aware basis for directional estimation on the spherical manifold. This formulation eliminates ERP seam discontinuities, latitude distortions, and interpolation errors. We evaluate EAGOR on two benchmark datasets and real-world experiments with a legged robot across directional reasoning tasks. EAGOR consistently outperforms existing methods, achieving average relative gains of +34.4% and +45.6% on HOS and OSR-Bench, respectively, while improving navigation success by +14.6%, reducing step count by 17.7%, and lowering mean angular error by 24.5%.

The synthesis of safety-critical scenarios (SCS) and their evaluation through closed-loop simulations are crucial for developing robust autonomous driving systems. A key aspect of this process involves editing agent states in both appearance and trajectory levels within existing scenes. However, current methods struggle to preserve data fidelity after scene editing and fail to efficiently generate high-quality SCS through such modifications. To overcome these limitations, we propose OmniSCS, an innovative system that generates photorealistic SCS with high physical fidelity while enabling closed-loop testing in synthetic environments. OmniSCS comprises two key modules: 1) A Fully Editable Driving World Construction module that maintains high-fidelity agent appearance and background during scene editing via dual-strategy agent reconstruction and depth-refinement background reconstruction methods. 2) A SCS Synthesis module that facilitates object insertion and agent trajectory editing to synthesize diverse SCS while preserving data fidelity. Experiments on nuScenes, Waymo, and KITTI datasets show that OmniSCS outperforms state-of-the-art methods in edited scene fidelity. We further validate its ability to enhance autonomous driving algorithms and support real-time (13Hz) closed-loop testing. Overall, OmniSCS provides a safer, more effective, and cost-efficient solution for SCS optimization and testing in autonomous driving.

Agentic video understanding equips models with long-term memory to autonomously process and respond to continuous, long-horizon multimodal streams. However, advanced video agents often rely on ``detective-style'' iterative reasoning for action control (e.g., $\mathtt{search}$) and evidence aggregation, incurring prohibitive costs and latency. We argue that such heavy reasoning primarily compensates for the lack of global context and semantic misalignment in retrieval. This paper introduces Light-Omni, a multimodal agent framework for reflexive and lightweight video understanding. It achieves this through dual contextual states that instantly build the required context in a single forward pass. First, we maintain a global state, a finite-sized multimodal script continuously consolidated from episodic memory, serving as the global context for Light-Omni. Through hierarchical merging, it preserves recent details while summarizing past events. Second, conditioned on this global context, we generate a parametric latent state that directly drives autonomous actions and produces retrieval embeddings, with minimal latency. Benefiting from this coupled design, Light-Omni achieves semantically aligned retrieval and reflexive responses while avoiding iterative reasoning. Extensive experiments validate the effectiveness of Light-Omni across multiple video benchmarks. Notably, it outperforms M3-Agent with an average 2.4% accuracy gain, a 12.1$\times$ speedup, and a 2.6$\times$ improvement in GPU memory efficiency. Furthermore, it serves as a memory system to enhance both the performance and efficiency of existing MLLMs. Project page: https://clare-nie.github.io/Light-Omni.

Sleep physiology arises from the coordinated dynamics of the central nervous system (CNS) and autonomic nervous system (ANS), as reflected by multimodal polysomnography signals including EEG, EOG, EMG, ECG, and respiration. However, existing sleep foundation models often fuse heterogeneous biosignals in a topology-agnostic manner, overlooking their physiological organization. We introduce Omni-Sleep, a sleep foundation model that uses the CNS/ANS partition as a physiological prior for topology-constrained representation learning. Omni-Sleep learns structured representations through three objectives: intra-system consistency, which captures shared subsystem-level factors within neural and cardio-respiratory signals; inter-system synchronization, which aligns subsystem trajectories to model brain--body dynamics; and latent-space masked temporal modeling, which captures long-horizon sleep dynamics. Pre-trained on over 100,000 hours of multi-center multimodal PSG data, Omni-Sleep is evaluated on sleep staging and multi-disease classification. Across datasets and modality-ablation settings, Omni-Sleep outperforms strong foundation-model baselines, showing improved label efficiency, cross-dataset generalization, and robustness to missing modalities. These results highlight the value of physiological hierarchy for generalizable sleep representation learning. Code is available at https://github.com/AutoBrain-sleep/OmniSleep.

Omni modal large language models (OmniLLMs) have attracted wide attention for their ability to jointly process audio and video, but they generate large token sequences under audio-visual inputs, leading to substantial inference cost. Existing audio-visual token compression methods often rely on unimodal guidance, overlooking the temporal locality of query-relevant evidence in audio-visual inputs and implicitly assuming that the two modalities share a temporally aligned information density distribution. We propose \textbf{OmniFocus}, a training-free query-guided token compression method for OmniLLMs that performs independent importance estimation for video and audio, enabling a modality-symmetric compression design that preserves modality-specific salient evidence while maintaining audio-visual alignment, thereby mitigating the modality bias issue that can arise from unimodal-guided compression. Experiments on the Qwen2.5-Omni model family across four audio-visual benchmarks show that OmniFocus maintains strong compressed performance at low token retention ratios and outperforms existing baselines on several major benchmark scores at 25% token retention. On DailyOmni with Qwen2.5-Omni-7B at 25% token retention, OmniFocus maintains 59.40 accuracy while delivering up to 1.38$\times$ prefill speedup relative to the full-token baseline, highlighting a favorable practical accuracy-efficiency trade-off.

Omnidirectional depth estimation from multi-fisheye camera rigs is complicated by visibility conflicts: wide baselines cause different cameras to observe different portions, or even different faces, of the same object, so aggregating their features into a unified equirectangular (ERP) representation under fixed projection produces ambiguous matching evidence near occlusion boundaries and thin structures. Although existing methods mitigate this by down-weighting unreliable views, they do not resolve the underlying discrepancy because context formation and cross-view fusion remain tied to rigid fisheye-to-ERP sampling. We present OmniDS, an iterative depth refinement framework that replaces rigid aggregation by combining dynamic context fusion with consensus-aware multi-view similarity. A dual-stream encoder pairs a lightweight CNN for geometric detail with a frozen DINOv3 for semantic priors; their features are reprojected into ERP space at each refinement step via learned view weighting and deformable cross-attention with geometric distortion bias. In parallel, a multi-view consensus volume captures global cross-camera agreement through group-wise correlation and feature variance, regularized by a 3D U-Net. For efficient deployment, we distill the dual-stream representation into a single MobileNet-based encoder. OmniDS achieves state-of-the-art performance on the OmniThings, OmniHouse, and Sunny benchmarks while maintaining competitive inference speed. Project page and codes are available at https://parkchaesong.github.io/omnids.

Dense video captioning aims to generate temporally grounded descriptions of video events, benefiting both event-level video understanding and generation. In this domain, autoregressive video large language models have emerged as a prevalent paradigm due to their strong generative and cross-modal modeling capacity. However, generating dense captions under the token-by-token paradigm severely limits inference efficiency and hinders scalability as video length and event density increase. In this work, we propose a parallelized autoregressive framework that not only improves generation efficiency but also enhances temporally grounded captioning performance. Our key insight is to exploit the weak local dependencies across temporally distinct events to restructure the causal dependency graph, thereby enabling lossless parallel generation. Specifically, tokens with weak cross-event dependencies can be decoded in parallel, while tightly coupled tokens within each event retain sequential decoding to preserve local semantic coherence. To realize this insight, we introduce two key components for lossless parallel decoding: (1) a latent global planning mechanism that automatically learns the event-level structure and produces compact tokens encoding global inter-event causality while adaptively aggregating event-level audio-visual semantics, guiding subsequent dependency restructuring and parallel decoding; and (2) an event-factorized parallel decoding mechanism that effectively balances local focus with global inter-event awareness. Experiments on various benchmarks demonstrate the clear advantage of our approach in both efficiency and performance in omni-modal event grounding and captioning.

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have demonstrated promising spatial reasoning capabilities, while these abilities remain underexplored in the emerging visual modality of panoramic imagery. The full 360°$\times$180° field of view of panoramas essentially supports complex global multi-step reasoning, which is also the fundamental advantage of panoramas in applications such as embodied intelligence. However, existing panoramic benchmarks largely focus on simplistic queries that rely on local cues or single-/few-step reasoning, thereby ignoring the fundamental advantage of panoramas and failing to fully exploit their potential. To address this gap, we introduce OmniCoT, a panoramic spatial reasoning suite designed to enable MLLMs to use global evidence and perform multi-step inference across viewpoints. It includes OmniCoT-B (6.7K data) for evaluation, which measures both answer accuracy and reasoning quality, OmniCoT-Real (1K data) as a manually annotated real-world subset to quantify the Sim-to-Real gap. For training, OmniCoT-T (14.3K data) is purpose-built with structured stepwise Chain-of-Thought annotations that explicitly link intermediate reasoning steps to panoramic evidence. Based on OmniCoT-T, we introduce OmniCoT-R1 and adopt a two-stage training strategy tailored to the geometrically complex panoramic space, where Supervised Fine-tuning (SFT) anchors reasoning to panoramic evidence (e.g., bearings, proximity) and GRPO penalizes geometrically incoherent paths to consolidate global 360° spatial consistency. Through OmniCoT, we aim to recalibrate the difficulty of panoramic spatial reasoning to better align with the intrinsic capabilities of panoramic imagery, thereby fostering meaningful progress in this research area.

Large-language models have proven to be remarkable if inconsistent parrots of public attitudes and opinions. The extent to which LLMs are able to produce reasonable approximations of cultural taste remains an open empirical question that becomes more urgent by the day, with market research companies already offering provisional 'synthetic' survey panels and the contamination of standard survey data from LLM-generated responses. In this study, we build on past work on silicon sampling by extending considerations of their ecological, relational, and positional fidelity in the doomain of cultural tastes. We use large-language models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and DeepSeek to produce 554,940 silicon surrogates of survey respondents from the Survey of Public Participation in the Arts (SPPA). We find these silicon surrogates' tastes to be highly stylized facsimiles of human tastes. First, silicon samples are super-omnivorous with a systematic postive-bias for liking. These individual-level bias of silicon samples are not well-explained by the WEIRD-bias often discussed in the literature. Second, the complex relationality in real taste structures is completely distorted among silicon samples. Third, very little of the known cultural alignment between tastes and social space are preserved. Silicon samples juvenilize age-taste associations, resurrect anachronistic class-taste associations, and caricaturize gender- and race-taste associations. Key words: AI, taste, consumption, culture, silicon sampling, meta-analysis.

Learning long-horizon humanoid loco-manipulation poses a dual challenge: it requires not only the robust execution of meta-skills but also their seamless, closed-loop chaining equipped with autonomous recovery. Existing approaches remain limited: explicit humanoid-object interaction representations offer precision but are notoriously difficult for high-level planning, whereas implicit skill embeddings are compact but lack the interpretability required for reliable composition. We propose \ours, a hierarchical framework centered on \textbf{contact flow (CF)}, a compact representation consisting of key body trajectories and time-series binary contact signals. Leveraging this shared interface, our low-level policy \textbf{CF-Track} learns a unified library of loco-manipulation skills, while our high-level module \textbf{CF-Gen} heuristically synthesizes future contact-flow sequences. To support this setting, we additionally collect the OmniContact dataset, a MoCap-based HOI corpus for humanoid loco-manipulation (Appendix~\ref{sec:dataset}). Together, they enable robust execution, autonomous failure recovery, and flexible composition of meta-skills for long-horizon tasks. Experiments show that OmniContact achieves $98.7\%$ success on \textit{Carry Box} and $76.5\%$ on \textit{Push-Stack Boxes}, outperforming prior baselines by average margins of $40.9\%$ in meta-skill and $66.5\%$ in skill chaining. Besides, our framework naturally integrates with VLMs for semantic task decomposition, enabling complex, semantically grounded loco-manipulation behaviors, such as arranging scattered boxes into a heart shape.

We find that current emotion-oriented Omni-MLLMs still lack reliable omni-modal perception: they (i) underutilize multimodal cues in their reasoning trajectories and (ii) exhibit unfaithful behavior, often hallucinating modality-specific statements from other modalities. Building on these insights, we propose OPPO (Omni-Perception Policy Optimization), a reinforcement learning framework that explicitly optimizes multimodal perception. First, an Omni-Perception Reward decomposes ground-truth reasoning into fine-grained visual, acoustic, and emotion cues and rewards trajectories that semantically recover these cues. Second, an Omni-Perception Loss compares the policy under full and unimodally masked inputs, applying a KL penalty only to modality-specific evidence tokens to suppress cross-modal hallucination. We further introduce MEP-Bench, a diagnostic benchmark that quantifies utilization and faithfulness. Experiments show that OPPO achieves state-of-the-art performance on MER-UniBench and MME-Emotion, while substantially improving utilization and faithfulness scores on MEP-Bench, highlighting the importance of sufficient and faithful omni perception for multimodal emotion reasoning.

We present S1-Omni-Image, an open-weight unified multimodal model for scientific image understanding, generation, and editing. Unlike general-purpose image generation models, scientific image tasks require not only high-fidelity synthesis, but also robust understanding of scientific semantics, structural relations, domain knowledge, and task intent. To this end, S1-Omni-Image builds on the scientific multimodal reasoning backbone S1-VL-32B and couples its understanding capability with an image generation module under a unified think-before-generate paradigm. Given a user instruction, the model first produces a task-oriented reasoning trace, a textual answer, and a task special token; their hidden states are then injected into the generation module to condition image generation or editing. S1-Omni-Image supports scientific image understanding, generation, and editing in a unified framework. For generation, it focuses on scientific illustrations and text rendering, including logical diagrams, relational comparisons, data charts, and realistic scientific visualizations. For editing, it casts segmentation and other domain-specific vision tasks as native image editing problems, enabling multi-turn illustration editing, medical and geographic image segmentation, medical image translation, and scientific image super-resolution. We construct SciGenEdit, a 314K-sample training dataset, and release the model weights, inference code, and SciGenEdit-10K. Experiments show that S1-Omni-Image substantially improves scientific image generation and editing while preserving the scientific image understanding capability inherited from S1-VL-32B. It outperforms open-source models on GenExam and TechImage-Bench, achieves state-of-the-art results on four editing benchmarks including MSD, cigRockSEM, SynthRAD2025, and IXI, and maintains stable performance on scientific image understanding evaluations.

We present OmniV2X, a generative foundation model for vehicle-to-everything (V2X) cooperative driving. The model directly interprets independent context sequences comprising multi-modal and multi-agent observations. The new design mitigates the computational cost of dense 3D perception, the vulnerability to data scarcity in cooperative scenarios, and the poor compliance with standardized messaging in existing methods that fuse multi-modal inputs into a shared representation. For training, we present an end-to-end supervised pipeline using a downstream trajectory generation loss, in which a high-capacity generative sequence planner implicitly learns to steer the model and leverage multi-modal inputs via cross-attention injection. As a foundation model, we demonstrate that OmniV2X pre-trained on large-scale single-agent planning datasets can efficiently adapt to cooperative environments by integrating the conditioning context with lightweight, standard-compliant V2X tokens. Evaluated on the DAIR-V2X-Seq dataset, OmniV2X outperforms existing end-to-end cooperative driving baselines, achieving state-of-the-art performance with less than 10% of the fine-tune V2X dataset and less than 1% of the communication bandwidth. We conduct comprehensive evaluations to demonstrate its computational efficiency and robustness under real-world constraints.

Omni-modal models can ingest video, audio, and text, but unified access to multiple modalities does not guarantee that a model uses the right evidence. This gap is especially pronounced in social video question answering, where the answer may hinge on a gesture, vocal tone, temporal cue, or mismatch between what is said and what is visually expressed. We introduce CogniRoute, a schema-guided Mixture-of-Experts framework for social omni reasoning. CogniRoute uses a training-only cognitive schema that factorizes each example by cross-modal relation, reasoning demand, and temporal scope, and aligns global routing signatures with this structure during supervised fine-tuning. We further introduce route-aware reinforcement learning, which jointly optimizes token generation and expert allocation using rewards for answer correctness, modality-consistent reasoning, and cognitive temporal grounding. To support training and evaluation, we construct OmniSocialBench, a diagnostic social video QA resource with 118K structured training examples, grounded reasoning traces, schema labels, temporal evidence spans, and a manually verified evaluation split. CogniRoute achieves 59.38% average accuracy on OmniSocialBench, improving over the strongest proprietary baseline by 15.33 percentage points and the strongest open-source omni baseline by 26.77 points, with the largest gains on questions requiring audio-visual coordination, conflict resolution, and temporally grounded social inference.

Passive models for long video understanding typically rely on a "watch-it-all" paradigm, processing frames uniformly regardless of query difficulty, causing computational cost to grow with video duration. Although interactive frameworks have emerged, they often rely on global pre-scanning, and their context cost still scales with video length. We propose OmniAgent, the first native omni-modal agent that formulates video understanding as a POMDP-based iterative Observation-Thought-Action cycle. OmniAgent executes on-demand actions to selectively distill audio-visual cues into a persistent textual memory, effectively decoupling reasoning complexity from raw video duration. To operationalize this, we introduce (1) Agentic Supervised Fine-Tuning to bootstrap native active perception via best-of-N trajectory synthesis with dual-stage quality control, and (2) Agentic Reinforcement Learning with TAURA (Turn-aware Adaptive Uncertainty Rescaled Advantage), which leverages turn-level entropy to steer credit assignment toward pivotal discovery turns. Crucially, OmniAgent exhibits positive test-time scaling, where performance improves as the number of reasoning turns increases, validating the efficacy of active perception. Empirical results across ten benchmarks (e.g., VideoMME, LVBench) demonstrate that OmniAgent achieves state-of-the-art performance among open-source models. Notably, on LVBench, our 7B agent outperforms the 10$\times$ larger Qwen2.5-VL-72B (50.5% vs. 47.3%).

Network planning optimization is a fundamental problem across diverse domains, including transportation systems, communication networks, and power grids. It requires simultaneous optimization of multiple competing objectives under complex constraints. Existing network planning optimization frameworks rely on mixed integer programming (MIP) solvers, heuristics, and deep reinforcement learning (DRL) models to compute planning decisions. However, they lack effective adaptability to diverse and dynamic user intents, thus leading to the trade-off between execution time and optimality. In this paper, we propose OmniPlan, an adaptive framework that achieves both timeliness and near-optimality in network planning optimization. To achieve the adaptability lacking in existing solutions, OmniPlan employs a large language model (LLM)-based interpreter to convert heterogeneous natural-language intents into a unified and quantifiable user-preference vector. Then it employs a mixture-of-experts architecture that integrates MIP solvers, heuristics, and DRL models as specialized experts, where OmniPlan adapts to diverse intents by dynamically selecting timely and near-optimal experts. Finally, it incorporates a DRL-based expert configuration module that fine-tunes optimization objective weights to align planning decisions with user-specific preferences. We evaluate OmniPlan with a representative real-world workload, i.e., distributed machine learning (ML), where we leverage OmniPlan to offload a wide spectrum of ML inference tasks, e.g., decision trees, SVM, naive Bayes, XGBoost, and random forests, onto a network of hardware devices. Our experiments on a real-world testbed indicate that OmniPlan achieves near-optimal and low-execution-time offloading for real-world ML inference tasks, reducing latency by up to 97.8% and network device resource consumption by up to 11.5%.

Despite the significant advancement of LLMs in conversation summarization, their evaluation remains limited by insufficient scenarios, input lengths, and sample sizes. Furthermore, existing benchmarks often omit frontier reasoning systems and efficient small models, or lack fine-grained, multi-dimensional assessments. To bridge these gaps, we propose OmniCSEval, a unified benchmark comprising 1,800 diverse conversations across six real-world scenarios, featuring context lengths ranging from 128 to 32k tokens. For fine-grained evaluation, we employ a bidirectional fact-checking framework that integrates key fact matching to assess completeness and conciseness, alongside summary fact verification to evaluate faithfulness. To ensure reliable assessment, we establish a human-LLM collaborative pipeline for key fact extraction and a multi-LLM consensus verifier for summary fact decomposition. Leveraging this framework, we evaluate 28 LLMs across four distinct categories grouped by reasoning capability and model scale. Our extensive empirical study reveals critical insights regarding the cross-scenario challenges current LLMs continue to face, the impacts of reasoning and scale, and the efficiency and adaptability of reasoning models. We also provide guidance for system selection in real-world deployments.

Reinforcement learning for multimodal large language models (MLLMs) is often hindered by severe reward sparsity in complex reasoning tasks. This challenge is particularly pronounced in human-centered scenarios involving states, emotions, intentions, and behaviors, where heterogeneous multimodal signals and subjective human factors make high-quality chain-of-thought (CoT) annotations expensive and difficult to obtain. Although many multimodal datasets provide expert-annotated ground-truth labels, directly using these labels for supervised fine-tuning may encourage shortcut learning in multimodal perception and provides limited transparency for safety-critical human--AI interaction. To address these limitations, we propose OmniOPSD, a Rationale-Privileged On-Policy Self-Distillation framework that uses frontier-generated rationales as teacher-side privileged evidence rather than student imitation targets. OmniOPSD uses frontier-generated evidence-aware rationales only as training-time privileged evidence context for a local teacher. The student samples its own rollout from the original multimodal input, while the rationale-privileged teacher scores the same tokens and provides dense token-level supervision. Thus, the student learns on its own trajectory distribution without directly imitating frontier-model completions, and inference requires no labels, rationales, CoT annotations, or closed-source model access. Experiments on MER-UniBench show that OmniOPSD achieves state-of-the-art performance with an average score of $84.19$, and ablations further support the value of rationale-privileged teacher guidance.

Traffic scene understanding requires models to reason beyond object recognition, including lane topology, multi-view geometry, temporal evolution, and signal-phase semantics. However, existing traffic-oriented multimodal benchmarks largely emphasize passive visual recognition or isolated video understanding, offering limited support for evaluating structure-aware traffic reasoning under controlled conditions. We introduce OmniTraffic, a controllable generation pipeline and benchmark for spatio-temporal traffic reasoning. Built around 12 real-world intersections reconstructed into editable 3D traffic environments and complemented by surveillance footage from two countries, OmniTraffic supports both controlled and natural-condition evaluation. It defines a three-level task hierarchy spanning scene perception, multi-view and temporal reasoning, and decision support. Using structured traffic metadata, OmniTraffic generates synchronized multi-view VQA samples covering vehicle states, lane functions, view--BEV correspondence, temporal dynamics, and signal-phase analysis, resulting in 8M VQA samples and a 3K human-verified test set. Evaluation of eleven frontier MLLMs reveals a large human--model gap, with the most pronounced failures in topology-grounded and spatio-temporal reasoning tasks. Fine-tuning a lightweight MLLM on simulated OmniTraffic data further improves performance on real-world traffic scenes, demonstrating the value of simulation-generated supervision for traffic-specific multimodal reasoning. Beyond a fixed dataset, OmniTraffic provides an extensible pipeline with configurable intersections, camera views, traffic demands, signal phases, visual conditions, and rare events.

Forecasting particulate matter (PM10) requires both station-scale accuracy and continuous spatial fields, especially during severe dust storms. Chemical transport models (CTMs) provide gridded forecasts but retain local biases, whereas graph neural networks (GNNs) track monitoring sites well at short lead times but do not produce gridded outputs. Here we present OmniPM-Net, a Convolutional Conditional Neural Process (ConvCNP)-based fusion model that reconciles these two forecast types within a shared spatial representation. A terrain-aware Gaussian set convolution lifts irregular GNN station forecasts onto a regular grid, where a multi-scale Spatial Source Attention (SSA) module blends them with Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) forecasts; a shared omni-query readout then decodes this representation into consistent PM10 predictions at either stations or grid cells over a 108 h horizon. Evaluated across 1,618 air-quality monitoring stations throughout China over the full year of 2024, OmniPM-Net matches the station-level accuracy of the stronger GNN baseline (mean absolute error 21.14 versus 22.00 ug/m3) and reduces the CAMS mean absolute error by 30%, while simultaneously delivering the gridded fields that the discrete GNN cannot. Its clearest gains are in the high-concentration tail, where the 90th-percentile MAE falls by 9% relative to the GNN and 25% relative to CAMS, and during dust episodes, where it improves categorical detection skill while tracking the evolving spatial trajectory.

Recent multimodal large language models mainly process audio as monaural signals, thereby discarding the spatial cues contained in spatial audio for sound localization, spatial relation reasoning, and spatial scene understanding. We propose Spatial-Omni, a lightweight method that implements SO-Encoder to inject First-Order Ambisonics (FOA) spatial audio into existing Omni LLMs as an independent modality, without modifying their original audio encoders. SO-Encoder provides spatial tokens with limited additional context cost and improves spatial audio understanding through efficient staged training. To support training and evaluation, we construct SO-Dataset, SO-QA, and SO-Bench from open-source data, real recordings, and simulations, containing 400K FOA spatial audio clips and 2.1M spatial question answering pairs. SO-Bench covers 16 spatial audio understanding subtasks, including basic detection and location estimation, spatial relation understanding, and complex spatial reasoning. Experiments show that Spatial-Omni outperforms existing open-source Large Audio-Language Models (LALMs) and Omni LLM models on spatial audio understanding tasks while retaining a reasonable level of general audio understanding. Code and data are available at https://github.com/dieKarotte/Spatial-Omni.

Health digital twins (HDTs) promise patient-specific modeling and decision support but current approaches remain structurally fragmented: monolithic models that address a single organ or task lack cross-scale fidelity, while system-level twins lack generalizable architectural frameworks. We propose OmniBioTwin, a System-of-Twinned-Systems (SoTS) framework that organizes HDTs as modular computational entities coupled through explicit interaction operators within a multi-layer network architecture. The framework comprises seven coordinated layers - spanning data integration, autonomous twin modeling, cross-scale coupling, temporal synchronization, and human-in-the-loop decision support. We demonstrate OmniBioTwin by instantiating a multiscale twin for glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) signaling pathways in Alzheimer's disease, illustrating how molecular, cellular, and organ-level twins can be composed and coupled within a unified system.

Humanoid whole-body control has made significant progress in recent years, yet existing approaches remain limited to few-skill policies with heavy reward engineering, or motion trackers that are difficult to extend to new input modalities. We argue that the key to general-purpose humanoid control is to build a scalable brain, a module capable of reasoning with diverse conditioning modalities, atop a reactive motion tracking cerebellum, mirroring the hierarchical structure of biological motor systems. Two challenges arise in realizing this vision: acquiring a vast amount of high-quality data to achieve general purpose control, and equipping the generator with the capability to condition on compositional, extensible multi-modal inputs. We present OMG, which addresses these challenges with a meticulous data curation, filtering and labeling pipeline, as well as a diffusion-based motion generation backbone that conditions on language, audio, and human reference motions. Extensive experiments validate OMG as an omni-modal whole-body controller exhibiting state-of-the-art performance, model scaling behavior and efficient adaptation to new distributions and modalities, marking a concrete step toward foundation models for humanoid robots.

Nearby neurons in cortex share similar response profiles, producing systematic spatial organization across sensory and cognitive systems. Recent topographic models reproduce aspects of this structure but remain unimodal and spatially constrain each layer separately, yielding fragmented maps that capture neither the contiguity of cortical processing streams nor their integration across modalities. We introduce Topo-Omni, a topographic multimodal model in which visual, auditory, and language/cognitive processing share a single contiguous in-silico sheet. Built by fine-tuning a pretrained foundation model with a spatial smoothness objective, this architecture develops clusters across modalities that are consistent with human neuroimaging, from sensory to cognitive systems. Driving or suppressing a cluster selectively biases or impairs perception, paralleling human intervention studies. Finally, we use our model to screen for novel clusters in-silico and discover new natural landscape and animal networks which we validate in human data. A single spatial principle thus organizes representations across modalities and processing stages, yielding testable hypotheses about cortical organization.

Omni-modal retrieval promises a single embedding space for text, image, video, document, and audio inputs, but building such a unified retriever is difficult since these modalities differ in data distribution, architecture, and optimization dynamics. In this work, we present Conan-embedding-v3, a decouple--fuse--recover framework for omni-modal retrieval. Conan-embedding-v3 first trains modality specialists independently and fuses their task vectors into a single dense backbone, a strategy we call Decoupled Specialist Fusion. We show that this fusion composes visual, video, and document retrieval capabilities, but also exposes a failure mode for projector-based modalities: when audio is attached through an external encoder and projector, fusing the backbone leaves the projector calibrated to the audio-specialist backbone, causing a large audio retrieval regression despite copying all audio-specific modules unchanged. We call this failure Projector Drift. To repair it, Conan-embedding-v3 applies Projector Recovery (i.e., full-parameter fine-tuning of the projector while keeping the backbone frozen) followed by balanced multi-modal rehearsal. The resulting model supports these retrieval pathways in one backbone, achieving 74.9 scores on MMEB while obtaining 55.61 on the 30-task MAEB audio suite.

Autoregressive (AR) models have demonstrated strong potential in visual generation, offering superior performance with simple architectures and optimization objectives. However, existing methods are typically limited to single-modality conditions, e.g., text, restricting their applicability in real-world scenarios that demand image synthesis from diverse controls. In this work, we present OmniGen-AR, a unified autoregressive framework for Any-to-Image generation. By discretizing various visual conditions through a shared visual tokenizer and text prompts with a text tokenizer, OmniGen-AR supports a broad spectrum of conditional inputs within a single model, including text (text-to-image generation), spatial signals (segmentation-to-image and depth-to-image), and visual context (image editing, frame prediction, and text-to-video generation). To mitigate the risk of information leakage from condition tokens to content tokens, we introduce Disentangled Causal Attention (DCA), which separates the full-sequence causal mask into condition causal attention and content causal attention. It serves as a training-time regularizer without affecting the standard next-token prediction during inference. With this design, OmniGen-AR achieves new state-of-the-art or at least competitive results across a range of benchmark, e.g., 0.63 on GenEval and 80.02 on VBench, demonstrating its effectiveness in flexible and high-fidelity visual generation.

While Omni-modal Large Language Models (OLLMs) have demonstrated impressive capabilities in jointly processing audio and visual streams, their ability to strictly adhere to complex, multi-faceted user instructions remains largely unexplored. Existing benchmarks primarily focus on holistic video understanding or text-only instruction following, failing to capture the intricate interplay between modalities and user constraints. To bridge this gap, we introduce OmniCap-IF, the first comprehensive benchmark specifically designed to evaluate instruction-following capabilities in omni-modal captioning. OmniCap-IF incorporates a systematic framework that assesses captions on two dimensions: format correctness and content correctness. Our benchmark encompasses 50 distinct constraint types across pure visual, pure audio, and audio-visual modalities, while integrating Temporal Grounding to assess spatio-temporal precision. Extensive evaluations of prominent models on 1,920 high-quality samples reveal significant performance disparities. Furthermore, our analysis uncovers a critical "format-content tradeoff", demonstrating that increasing formatting complexity directly degrades models' omni-modal reasoning abilities. Finally, to advance the field, we curate a 54K instruction-tuning dataset, OmniCap-IF-54K and present OmniCaptioner-IF, which achieves notable improvements in both complex instruction adherence and general omni-modal captioning performance.

Facial rigging - creating FACS-based blendshapes together with inner-mouth geometry (teeth, gums, and tongue) - remains a major bottleneck in 3D character production. Existing pipelines still require substantial designer effort, especially for manual landmark annotation, per-character template adjustment, and inner-mouth placement. We present OmniFaceRig, a fully automatic end-to-end pipeline that converts a static surface-only 3D character mesh, with no pre-modeled oral cavity, into an inner-mouth-aware FACS rig with up to 155 blendshapes, procedurally fitted teeth, gums, and tongue, and re-packed UV/texture. OmniFaceRig supports diverse topologies - humans, humanoids, long-muzzled animals (e.g., dogs, wolves, foxes), and short-muzzled animals (e.g., cats, bears, rabbits, tigers) - with no manual landmarks, no user-provided templates, and no per-asset setup. The pipeline combines hybrid VLM+CV riggability checking, multi-model face parsing, dense keypoint-driven template registration, procedural inner-mouth construction, and collision-aware blendshape transfer. For non-human characters, OmniFaceRig selects topology-specific face and inner-mouth templates and uses collision-aware inner-mouth fitting to reduce teeth-face intersections without exposing users to category-specific tuning. We also publicly release Omni-Bench, a freely available benchmark dataset of 1,000 biped 3D characters with FACS facial blendshapes and inner-mouth geometry, spanning humans, humanoids, cats, dogs, and other animals. Experiments show high final rigging success on screened Omni-Bench inputs, nearly complete face detection recall from the segmentation ensemble and reliable inner-mouth placement with low penetration. Together, OmniFaceRig provides an automatic path from static generated characters to animation-ready facial rigs across both human and non-human topologies.

Multimodal sentiment analysis (MSA) infers human affect from language, acoustic, and visual signals. Recent methods increasingly adapt large multimodal models (LMMs) via generative readout: prompting the model to emit a sentiment score as a text string. While convenient, this ties continuous regression to discrete autoregressive decoding, incurring unmeasured costs. We revisit this readout mechanism and propose a discriminative formulation built on the Thinker module of a native omni-modal LLM (Qwen2.5-Omni-7B). Instead of text decoding, we map the final-layer hidden state of the last non-padding token to a continuous score via a lightweight regression head in a single forward pass. Using 4-bit quantization and low-rank adaptation (QLoRA), the entire 7B pipeline -- including video and audio processing -- trains on a single consumer GPU (RTX 5090, 32 GB) with 10-21 GB peak memory and 1.14% trainable parameters. Through a controlled comparison fixing the backbone, data, and LoRA configuration, we isolate the impact of the readout. On CMU-MOSI and CMU-MOSEI, our discriminative readout reaches state-of-the-art accuracy without task-specific feature engineering (MOSI: MAE 0.551, Corr 0.888; MOSEI: MAE 0.506, Corr 0.790) and exhibits strong multi-seed stability. In contrast, the generative readout -- even after equivalent supervised training -- more than doubles the mean absolute error, yields unparsable or out-of-range outputs (2.8% zero-shot), and suffers from higher latency. Modality ablations reveal a text-dominant regime on CMU-MOSI. Our findings indicate that how an LMM is read out is as consequential as how it is trained, demonstrating that a discriminative readout offers a more accurate, efficient, and reliable alternative for continuous MSA.
