Breakthrough in Multimodal Large Models’ Long-Chain Reflective Reasoning Capabilities: Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Shanghai AI Lab jointly launched the MM-HELIX ecosystem, aiming to endow AI with long-chain reflective reasoning capabilities. By constructing the MM-HELIX benchmark (comprising 42 challenging tasks including algorithms, graph theory, puzzles, and strategy games) and the MM-HELIX-100K dataset, and employing the AHPO adaptive hybrid strategy optimization algorithm, they successfully trained the Qwen2.5-VL-7B model. This resulted in an 18.6% accuracy improvement on the benchmark and an average 5.7% improvement on general math and logical reasoning tasks. This demonstrates that the model can not only solve complex problems but also generalize from them, marking a crucial step in AI’s evolution from a “knowledge container” to a “master problem-solver.” (Source: QbitAI)

First Video-to-Code Benchmark Released, GPT-5 Performs Poorly: Shanghai AI Lab, in collaboration with Zhejiang University and other institutions, released IWR-Bench, the first benchmark for evaluating the interactive web reconstruction (Video-to-Code) capabilities of multimodal large models.
