Thinking Beyond Videos: Unifying Video Reasoning and Deep Research for Open-World Video Agents
Open-world video understanding often requires a model to locate sparse visual evidence and acquire external knowledge that is absent from the video and its parametric memory. While Thinking-with-Videos enables active temporal perception and Deep Research supports multi-step information seeking, the two capabilities are typically developed in isolation. We introduce VideoRover, a unified Video Deep Research framework that iteratively coordinates video cropping, multimodal search, and webpage browsing. Given a video-question pair, VideoRover uses each tool result to select the next action, so lo
