    WeVisOne-VL unifies object- and pixel-level vision-language tasks with structured token prediction

    WeVisOne-VL integrates a lightweight pixel decoder into a vision-language model, enabling unified object detection, referring localization, counting, OCR, segmentation, and matting. Trained with curriculum fine-tuning and reinforcement learning, it leads on over 30 benchmarks for both discrete and dense visual tasks.
