Many VLMs claim to process hours of video. But can they follow the story?🤔
Today, we introduce TimeScope: The benchmark that separates true temporal understanding from marketing hype. Let's see how much VLMs really understand!⏳
We test three skills that matter for real-world use:
🔎 Localized Retrieval: Find a specific action.
🧩 Information Synthesis: Piece together scattered clues.
🏃 Fine-Grained Perception: Analyze detailed motion (e.g., count how many times a person swings an axe).
The results are in, and they're revealing. Only Gemini 2.5 pro handles 1-hour-long videos.
Performance drops sharply with duration, proving that long video understanding is still challenging. We've found the breaking points—now the community can start fixing them.📈
Want to learn more? TimeScope is 100% open-source. Benchmark your model and help us build the next generation of video AI.

🧠👁️ Can AI visualize solutions?
Humans often solve visual problems by sketching ideas in our minds. What if Vision-Language Models (VLMs) could do something similar, not by generating full images, but by using internal “mental sketches”?
That’s the idea behind Mirage, a new framework that empowers VLMs to reason using latent visual tokens. Instead of just thinking in words, Mirage mixes in abstract visual representations that help the model solve complex tasks.
These aren't photorealistic images. They're compact, internal representations optimized purely to support reasoning.
🔧 Mirage is trained in two phases:
1) Grounding: It learns to produce latent tokens anchored in real images.
2) Refinement: The model drops the images and learns to generate visual tokens on its own.
📈 And yes, it works!
On challenging benchmarks like Visual Spatial Planning, Jigsaw puzzles, and Spatial Attention Tasks, Mirage clearly outperforms GPT-4o and other strong baselines.
Smart sketches > empty words.
By mimicking the way humans visualize solutions, Mirage gives AI a new kind of imagination, one that’s faster, more efficient, and more human-like.
Kudos to the teams at UMass Amherst and MIT behind this exciting work.
