Infinity-Parser2 Technical ReportZuming Huang, Jun Huang, Kexuan Ren et al.
We present Infinity-Parser2, a large multimodal model that couples a controllable data-synthesis pipeline with multi-task reinforcement learning for end-to-end document parsing, addressing the persistent scarcity of faithfully annotated parsing corpora. Our contributions are threefold. First, we build a scalable synthesis engine, pairing a controllable rendering framework with an iterative refinement loop, and use it to construct and open-source Infinity-Doc2-5M: a 5-million-sample bilingual (Chinese/English) corpus spanning diverse document types, annotated with element bounding boxes, canonical content forms (Markdown, HTML, LaTeX, SMILES, structured charts), and full-page reading order. Second, we introduce a verifiable, multi-task reward system that enables Joint Reinforcement Learning across eight co-trained objectives (document parsing, layout analysis, table parsing, math formula parsing, chart parsing, chemical formula parsing, document VQA, and general multimodal understanding), unifying perception, structure, and reasoning in a single optimization signal. Third, we release two variants under a shared architecture: Infinity-Parser2-Flash, optimized for low-latency inference with a $3.68\times$ throughput gain over Infinity-Parser-7B, and Infinity-Parser2-Pro, engineered for precision-critical settings. Infinity-Parser2-Pro reaches state-of-the-art 87.6% on olmOCR-Bench and 74.3% on ParseBench, surpassing DeepSeek-OCR-2, PaddleOCR-VL-1.5, and MinerU2.5, with strong generalization to charts, chemical formulas, and document VQA.

Harness VLA: Steering Frozen VLAs into Reliable Manipulation Primitives via Memory-Guided AgentsYixian Zhang, Huanming Zhang, Feng Gao et al. · tsinghua
Language-conditioned manipulation requires both precise contact-rich control and robust reasoning over language, scenes, and long horizons. End-to-end Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models provide strong local visuomotor skills, but they are trained on in-distribution task trajectories and often fail under deployment perturbations such as semantic retargeting, goal re-binding, spatial-layout shifts, and unstable local contacts. LLM coding agents provide complementary semantic and compositional reasoning, but purely analytic primitives struggle with irregular grasping, constrained placement, and articulated-object interaction. We present Harness VLA, a memory-augmented agentic framework that exposes a frozen VLA as a retryable contact-rich primitive and composes it with a small fixed library of analytic primitives for grounding, staging, transport, navigation, and release. Rather than expanding the skill library, the harness learns the operating range of these fixed primitives from task-specific execution traces, global success rules, and failure models. By lifting semantic re-grounding, non-contact execution, and VLA re-staging to the planner while reserving the frozen VLA for local contact-rich phases, Harness VLA extends pretrained VLAs beyond their original trajectory distribution without finetuning. Across perturbed tabletop, household kitchen, and clean-to-randomized bimanual manipulation, Harness VLA improves over the strongest relevant baselines by 38.6 and 25.4 percentage points on LIBERO-Pro and RoboCasa365, respectively, and reaches 58.4% on RoboTwin C2R.

Multimodal 3D LUT Generation via StatLUT with Statistical Features for Photorealistic Style TransferYifan Wang, Zhixiang Hao, Yu Wang et al.
Photorealistic Style Transfer (PST) aims to transfer the color and tonal style of a reference to a content image while strictly preserving its structural integrity. However, existing deep learning-based methods inherently suffer from semantic entanglement caused by pre-trained image encoders, leading to unnatural spatial distortions. Moreover, current pixel-level mapping paradigms often ignore color gamut topology, resulting in color banding, while also lacking the multimodal capability for intuitive text-driven control. To address these bottlenecks, we propose StatLUT, an innovative multimodal framework for 3D LUT generation. First, we bypass traditional encoders and introduce a Lab-Extractor to derive spatially-agnostic statistical features, fundamentally decoupling color distributions from structural semantics to ensure artifact-free rendering. Second, we formulate LUT generation as a Transformer-based Seq2Seq translation task, utilizing a Multi-dimensional Residual Mapper (MR-Mapper) to predict topologically smooth 3D LUTs. Finally, to break the single-modal barrier, we propose the H-Diffuser, a lightweight Diffusion Transformer that directly synthesizes statistical features from natural language prompts, enabling flexible text-driven color grading. Extensive experiments on standard benchmarks demonstrate that StatLUT significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods in both visual quality and quantitative metrics, pioneering a highly robust and flexible paradigm for multimodal photorealistic style transfer.
