Baidu Pledges Apache License for ERNIE 5.5 AI Weights Due This Month; Base Model Bars EU, UK

ERNIE 5.5 open weights face an unsettled license: Baidu’s product page pledges Apache 2.0 for the Preview model, yet its release names no license and sets a Nov. 25 deadline, while the Base model bars the EU, UK and South Korea. Developers also weigh Chinese state-access law and unverified Token

Back to Pixels: Lifting Latent Video Diffusion into Pixel Space

Frontier video generation models work in a VAE latent space that compresses video in both space and time. This compression made training tractable, but now limits high-resolution, controllable, and interactive generation -- doubling resolution quadruples token count, conditions apply to groups of frames rather than individual ones, and each response must wait for the rest of its multi-frame block. We present PixVid, a simple yet effective method that lifts a pretrained latent video model to directly generate every frame in pixel space. PixVid keeps the diffusion transformer and replaces the VAE decoder with a convolutional head that renders its outputs into pixels. We find that predicting clean video rather than velocity, together with a larger noise shift, is key to quality. Finetuned from Wan2.1-14B, PixVid is competitive with the latent baseline within $\sim 1.3$M training clips. Working framewise in pixels, it generates at $2\times$ higher resolution with the same per-frame token count, keeps depth-conditioned video editing aligned under fast motion, and responds to each action at the next frame.

LongCap: Hour-Scale Timestamped Audio Captioning via Chunk-wise Processing

Describing hours of audio requires accurate event timing and sustained descriptive detail throughout the recording. We present LongCap, a framework for timestamped audio captioning (TAC), with the human-annotated LongCapBench and three diarization-inspired metrics: Timeline…

Optimal Polynomial-Query Approximation for Consistent Submodular Maximization with Short Lookahead

Elements arrive one at a time, and after each arrival an algorithm holds a set of at most $k$ arrived elements. Its goal is a held set whose value under a monotone submodular function is close to the best value that $k$ arrived elements can achieve. The recourse of an update is…

HARP-Bench: Benchmarking Robot Manipulation Around Active Humans

Recent robot manipulation benchmarks have enabled systematic evaluation of general-purpose robot policies across diverse objects, scenes, instructions, and embodiments. However, most existing benchmarks still assume that the robot is the only active agent and that task…

What You Show Is Not What You Get: Rethinking Demonstration Following in Visual In-Context Segmentation

Visual in-context segmentation uses visual demonstrations to guide predictions for a new image. In SegGPT, we identify background color mapping deviation, where non-target regions sharing a background label receive different output colors, and part-to-parent expansion, where…
