Apple's IVT Internalizes Visual Reasoning for 5x Faster Proactive Video Prediction

Apple researchers propose Internalized Visual Thinking (IVT), a post-training framework that learns predictive world modeling during training but removes future-frame generation at inference, achieving 5x speedup over Visual CoT while matching or exceeding accuracy on Early-event and Next-event Prediction across Ego-Exo4D, Ego4D, and EPIC-KITCHENS-100.
