Video-DeepResearch: Towards the Next-Generation Multimodal Deepresearch Agent
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.03979v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce Video-DeepResearch (Video-DR), extending multimodal agents from static images to continuous video streams, a setting that demands dense spatiotemporal grounding coupled with open-web exploration. Preliminary evaluations reveal two critical bottlenecks in current models: (1) modality bias, where agents bypass visual tools in favor of textual search, and (2) parametric knowledge leakage, where models rely on internal memory rather than genuine tool-augmented execution. To address these challenges, we propose Video-DR, featuring a dec
