Core Innovation

This paper introduces ARC-Hunyuan-Video-7B, a 7B-parameter model that uniquely integrates visual, audio, and textual inputs for temporally-structured understanding of short videos. Unlike prior models, it performs multiple tasks end-to-end including timestamped captioning, summarization, and temporal reasoning, optimized for real-world short video content. The multi-stage training and validation on ShortVid-Bench demonstrate its practical effectiveness and efficiency in production environments.
