Visual in-context learning models are designed to adapt to new tasks by leveraging a set of example input-output pairs, enabling rapid generalization without task-specific fine-tuning. However, these models operate in a fundamentally static paradigm: while they can adapt to new tasks, they lack any mechanism to incorporate user-provided guidance signals such as scribbles, clicks, or bounding boxes to steer or refine the prediction process. This limitation is particularly restrictive in real-world applications, where users want to actively guide model predictions, e.g., by highlighting the target object for segmentation, indicating a region which should be visually altered, or isolating a specific person in a complex scene to run targeted pose estimation. In this work, we propose a simple method to transform static visual in-context learners, particularly the DeLVM approach, into highly controllable, user-driven systems, i.e., Interactive DeLVM, enabling seamless interaction through natural visual cues such as scribbles, clicks, or drawing boxes. Specifically, by encoding interactions directly into the example input-output pairs, we keep the philosophy of visual in-context learning intact: enabling users to prompt models with unseen interactions without fine-tuning and empowering them to dynamically steer model predictions with personalized interactions. Our experiments demonstrate that SOTA visual in-context learning models fail to effectively leverage interaction cues, often ignoring user guidance entirely. In contrast, our method excels in controllable, user-guided scenarios, achieving improvements of $+7.95%$ IoU for interactive segmentation, $+2.46$ PSNR for directed super-resolution, and $-3.14%$ LPIPS for interactive object removal. With this, our work bridges the gap between rigid static task adaptation and fluid interactivity for user-centric visual in-context learning.

Achieving physically accurate object manipulation in image editing is essential for its potential applications in interactive world models. However, existing visual generative models often fail at precise spatial manipulation, resulting in incorrect scaling and positioning of objects. This limitation primarily stems from the lack of explicit mechanisms to incorporate 3D geometry and perspective projection. To achieve accurate manipulation, we develop PhyEdit, an image editing framework that leverages explicit geometric simulation as contextual 3D-aware visual guidance. By combining this plug-and-play 3D prior with joint 2D--3D supervision, our method effectively improves physical accuracy and manipulation consistency. To support this method and evaluate performance, we present a real-world dataset, RealManip-10K, for 3D-aware object manipulation featuring paired images and depth annotations. We also propose ManipEval, a benchmark with multi-dimensional metrics to evaluate 3D spatial control and geometric consistency. Extensive experiments show that our approach outperforms existing methods, including strong closed-source models, in both 3D geometric accuracy and manipulation consistency.

Text-to-video diffusion models have enabled open-ended video synthesis, but often struggle with generating the correct number of objects specified in a prompt. We introduce NUMINA , a training-free identify-then-guide framework for improved numerical alignment. NUMINA identifies prompt-layout inconsistencies by selecting discriminative self- and cross-attention heads to derive a countable latent layout. It then refines this layout conservatively and modulates cross-attention to guide regeneration. On the introduced CountBench, NUMINA improves counting accuracy by up to 7.4% on Wan2.1-1.3B, and by 4.9% and 5.5% on 5B and 14B models, respectively. Furthermore, CLIP alignment is improved while maintaining temporal consistency. These results demonstrate that structural guidance complements seed search and prompt enhancement, offering a practical path toward count-accurate text-to-video diffusion. The code is available at https://github.com/H-EmbodVis/NUMINA.

Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) has emerged as the de facto Reinforcement Learning (RL) objective driving recent advancements in Multimodal Large Language Models. However, extending this success to open-source multimodal generalist models remains heavily constrained by two primary challenges: the extreme variance in reward topologies across diverse visual tasks, and the inherent difficulty of balancing fine-grained perception with multi-step reasoning capabilities. To address these issues, we introduce Gaussian GRPO (G$^2$RPO), a novel RL training objective that replaces standard linear scaling with non-linear distributional matching. By mathematically forcing the advantage distribution of any given task to strictly converge to a standard normal distribution, $\mathcal{N}(0,1)$, G$^2$RPO theoretically ensures inter-task gradient equity, mitigates vulnerabilities to heavy-tail outliers, and offers symmetric update for positive and negative rewards. Leveraging the enhanced training stability provided by G$^2$RPO, we introduce two task-level shaping mechanisms to seamlessly balance perception and reasoning. First, response length shaping dynamically elicits extended reasoning chains for complex queries while enforce direct outputs to bolster visual grounding. Second, entropy shaping tightly bounds the model's exploration zone, effectively preventing both entropy collapse and entropy explosion. Integrating these methodologies, we present OpenVLThinkerV2, a highly robust, general-purpose multimodal model. Extensive evaluations across 18 diverse benchmarks demonstrate its superior performance over strong open-source and leading proprietary frontier models.

Given a person and a garment image, virtual try-on (VTO) aims to synthesize a realistic image of the person wearing the garment, while preserving their original pose and identity. Although recent VTO methods excel at visualizing garment appearance, they largely overlook a crucial aspect of the try-on experience: the accuracy of garment fit -- for example, depicting how an extra-large shirt looks on an extra-small person. A key obstacle is the absence of datasets that provide precise garment and body size information, particularly for "ill-fit" cases, where garments are significantly too large or too small. Consequently, current VTO methods default to generating well-fitted results regardless of the garment or person size. In this paper, we take the first steps towards solving this open problem. We introduce FIT (Fit-Inclusive Try-on), a large-scale VTO dataset comprising over 1.13M try-on image triplets accompanied by precise body and garment measurements. We overcome the challenges of data collection via a scalable synthetic strategy: (1) We programmatically generate 3D garments using GarmentCode and drape them via physics simulation to capture realistic garment fit. (2) We employ a novel re-texturing framework to transform synthetic renderings into photorealistic images while strictly preserving geometry. (3) We introduce person identity preservation into our re-texturing model to generate paired person images (same person, different garments) for supervised training. Finally, we leverage our FIT dataset to train a baseline fit-aware virtual try-on model. Our data and results set the new state-of-the-art for fit-aware virtual try-on, as well as offer a robust benchmark for future research. We will make all data and code publicly available on our project page: https://johannakarras.github.io/FIT.
