Scalable Visual Pretraining for Language Intelligence
The rapid progress of large foundation models has been driven predominantly by pretraining on large-scale text corpora. However, many forms of knowledge are conveyed through visual representations, where figures, typeset equations, and page layouts carry rich information that cannot be faithfully or completely captured by text alone. Yet current pretraining approaches discard these visual cues by converting visually rich sources, such as documents and web pages, into plain text for learning language intelligence. This paper challenges the default assumption that language models must be trained
Text-Driven 3D Indoor Scene Synthesis in Non-Manhattan Environments
Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in 3D indoor synthesis for Manhattan environments. However, existing methods often fail to capture plausible object layout patterns in non-Manhattan settings, primarily because they struggle to model non-orthogonal spatial relationships, leading to high geometric violations and low physical fidelity. To address this challenge, we propose SPG-Layout, a novel text-driven framework designed to generate physically plausible indoor scenes within complex non-Manhattan environments. Specifically, we first utilize statistical prior
Intern-S2-Preview: Scientific Agentic Foundation Model
Scientific discovery increasingly requires AI systems that can reason over scientific evidence of heterogeneous modalities, interact with scientific tools and environments, and sustain progress across long task horizons. We present Intern-S2-Preview, a series of scientific agentic foundation models designed to support multimodal scientific understanding, reasoning, generation, and long-horizon tasks. The training pipeline begins with scientific multimodal pre-training over rendered scientific documents, interleaved image-text data, and diverse scientific corpora. Starting from the pretrained c
VideoChat3: Fully Open Video MLLM for Efficient and Generalist Video Understanding
Recent advances in video understanding have spanned motion, long video, and streaming interaction, driving this field toward real-world applications. Despite this progress, current open-source models remain limited in several ways. They often struggle to generalize across diverse video types, making them effective only in specific domains. High computational demands further restrict their efficiency and scalability. Moreover, most models are only partially open, with key components such as training code, strategy, or datasets unavailable, which hinders reproducibility and slows community-drive
AdvancedMathBench: A Benchmark Suite for Advanced Mathematical Proof Generation and Verification
Large language models (LLMs) have achieved remarkable performance on high-school and olympiad-style mathematics, yet their capabilities on advanced mathematics remain poorly understood. Existing benchmarks, however, fall short in both scope and evaluation granularity: they provide limited disciplinary coverage and often rely on final-answer correctness or coarse judgments, leaving the validity of the reasoning process inadequately assessed. To bridge this gap, we introduce AdvancedMathBench, a benchmark suite designed to evaluate advanced mathematical reasoning capabilities. Its core proof-gen
MedGame: Storytelling Gamification Empowered by Large Language Models for Medical Education
Large Language Models (LLMs) show promise for medical education, but most existing systems focus on localized interactions such as question answering or single-turn feedback, rather than organizing an entire clinical case into a decision-centered learning trajectory. We introduce \textit{MedGame}, a framework that transforms static clinical cases into structured, executable storytelling games. MedGame uses a dual-engine design: a Medical Narrative Designer synthesizes case-grounded clinical storylines with states and decision nodes, while a Story Director converts them into dependency-aware mu
