SCOPE-Router: Cost-Aware Open-Set VLM Routing for Execution-Oriented Tasks

Model routing aims to select the most suitable model from a candidate pool for each query, balancing quality and cost. Existing VLM routing research is limited to traditional VQA evaluation, lacks systematic calibration optimization for open-set scenarios, and employs training objectives that dilute multi-positive signals via softmax normalization without incorporating cost. We address these limitations with three contributions: (1)VLM-ExecRouterBench, the first execution-oriented VLM routing benchmark covering Code, Agentic, and Search domains with 11 candidate models spanning nearly two orders of magnitude in pricing; (2)SCOPE-Router, a dual-tower router that matches queries to model behavior profiles constructed via hybrid calibration (random/diagnostic/diversity sampling), enabling new models to join routing without retraining; (3)CRM+RCCR, an architecture-agnostic cost-aware objective that encodes cost preference into continuous relevance targets through per-pair independent scoring, eliminating multi-positive dilution while regularizing queries with similar routing preferences to be closer in the routing space. Empirically, SCOPE-Router achieves the best Rank Score on all three benchmarks, surpassing the runner-up by 1.84 points under OOD settings and by 6.75 points under doubly OOD open-set evaluation. When applied to four diverse routers, CRM+RCCR improves Rank Score by 1.25--6.21 points.

Beyond Closed-Pool Video Retrieval: A Benchmark and Agent Framework for Real-World Video Search and Moment Localization

Traditional video retrieval benchmarks focus on matching precise descriptions to closed video pools, failing to reflect real-world searches characterized by fuzzy, multi-dimensional memories on the open web. We present \textbf{RVMS-Bench}, a comprehensive system for evaluating real-world video memory search. It consists of \textbf{1,440 samples} spanning \textbf{20 diverse categories} and \textbf{four duration groups}, sourced from \textbf{real-world open-web videos}. RVMS-Bench utilizes a hierarchical description framework encompassing \textbf{Global Impression, Key Moment, Temporal Context, and Auditory Memory} to mimic realistic multi-dimensional search cues, with all samples strictly verified via a human-in-the-loop protocol. We further propose \textbf{RACLO}, an agentic framework that employs abductive reasoning to simulate the human ``Recall-Search-Verify'' cognitive process, effectively addressing the challenge of searching for videos via fuzzy memories in the real world. Experiments reveal that existing MLLMs still demonstrate insufficient capabilities in real-world Video Retrieval and Moment Localization based on fuzzy memories. We believe this work will facilitate the advancement of video retrieval robustness in real-world unstructured scenarios.

VDE Bench: Evaluating The Capability of Image Editing Models to Modify Visual Documents

In recent years, image editing models have made significant progress, enabling users to manipulate visual content in a flexible and interactive manner through natural language instructions. However, an important yet underexplored research direction remains dense visual document image editing, which involves modifying textual content within images while faithfully preserving the original text style and background context. Existing methods primarily focus on English scenarios and images with relatively sparse text, and thus cannot adequately address dense, structurally complex documents or non-Latin scripts such as Chinese. To bridge this gap, we propose VDE Bench (Visual Doc Edit Bench), a rigorously human annotated and evaluated benchmark specifically designed to assess the performance of image editing models on bilingual Chinese-English and complex visual document editing tasks. The benchmark comprises a high quality dataset of 942 instruction based image editing samples, whose seed images encompass dense Chinese and English text documents including academic papers, posters, presentation slides, examination materials, and newspapers. Furthermore, we introduce a novel evaluation framework that systematically quantifies editing performance at the OCR parsing level, thereby enabling fine grained assessment of text modification accuracy. Based on this benchmark, we conduct a comprehensive evaluation of representative image editing models. Human verification demonstrates a high degree of consistency between human judgments and automated evaluation metrics. VDE Bench constitutes the first systematic benchmark for evaluating the performance of image editing models on bilingual dense text visual documents.
