With the advancement of powerful large-scale reasoning models, effectively evaluating the reasoning capabilities of these models has become increasingly important. However, existing benchmarks designed to assess the reasoning abilities of large models tend to be limited in scope and lack the flexibility to adapt their difficulty according to the evolving reasoning capacities of the models. To address this, we propose MorphoBench, a benchmark that incorporates multidisciplinary questions to evaluate the reasoning capabilities of large models and can adjust and update question difficulty based on the reasoning abilities of advanced models. Specifically, we curate the benchmark by selecting and collecting complex reasoning questions from existing benchmarks and sources such as Olympiad-level competitions. Additionally, MorphoBench adaptively modifies the analytical challenge of questions by leveraging key statements generated during the model’s reasoning process. Furthermore, it includes questions generated using simulation software, enabling dynamic adjustment of benchmark difficulty with minimal resource consumption. We have gathered over 1,300 test questions and iteratively adjusted the difficulty of MorphoBench based on the reasoning capabilities of models such as GPT-5 and Gemini-3-Pro. MorphoBench enhances the comprehensiveness and validity of model reasoning evaluation, providing reliable guidance for improving both the reasoning abilities and scientific robustness of large models.

A long-video answer is evidence-supported only when the frames decoded from the video cover every event the answer depends on. Existing evaluations score final-answer correctness or predicted evidence intervals, but the frames a method decodes before answering are rarely audited, so correct answers can still rest on incomplete observation. We introduce VES-Bench, a 600-question benchmark of Temporal Ordering and Event Counting items over 348 public long videos. Each item carries a jointly necessary set of evidence intervals, letting us audit at three strictness levels whether a method’s decoded frames cover every one of them. We also propose TRACE, a training-free agent that grounds answers in raw visual clips, builds an evidence bundle round by round, and stops only when the answer stabilises as the bundle grows and a final pass over the same clips returns the same answer. Under a same-backbone audit, TRACE answers 50.7% of questions correctly with at least two decoded frames inside every evidence interval, at 98.7 frames per question: over 10 points above uniform decoding at 128 frames (40.2%), and within 2.6 points of uniform decoding at 256 frames at 0.39× its frame cost, while reaching the highest answer accuracy in the audit (63.5%). TRACE also stays competitive on Video-MME (86.1), LVBench (75.6), and LongVideoBench (75.1).

We introduce MinerU2.5, a 1.2B-parameter document parsing vision-language model that achieves state-of-the-art recognition accuracy while maintaining exceptional computational efficiency. Our approach employs a coarse-to-fine, two-stage parsing strategy that decouples global layout analysis from local content recognition. In the first stage, the model performs efficient layout analysis on downsampled images to identify structural elements, circumventing the computational overhead of processing high-resolution inputs. In the second stage, guided by the global layout, it performs targeted content recognition on native-resolution crops extracted from the original image, preserving fine-grained details in dense text, complex formulas, and tables. To support this strategy, we developed a comprehensive data engine that generates diverse, large-scale training corpora for both pretraining and fine-tuning. Ultimately, MinerU2.5 demonstrates strong document parsing ability, achieving state-of-the-art performance on multiple benchmarks, surpassing both general-purpose and domain-specific models across various recognition tasks, while maintaining significantly lower computational overhead.
