Abstract
We introduce Kwai Keye-VL-2.0-30B-A3B, an open-source Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) multimodal foundation model designed to advance long-video understanding and agentic intelligence. To address the challenges of ultra-long contexts, information redundancy, and prohibitive computational costs inherent in hour-level videos, Keye-VL-2.0 is the first to adapt DeepSeek Sparse Attention (DSA) to GQA-based multimodal architectures, enabling lossless 256K context processing while capturing critical frames and long-range temporal dependencies. This architecture is underpinned by a highly optimized training and inference infrastructure, including scalable video I/O, heterogeneous ViT-LM parallelism, and custom DSA kernels that significantly maximize throughput and minimize computational overhead. Furthermore, to overcome the algorithmic dilemma of catastrophic forgetting during multi-task alignment, we introduce Cross-Modal Multi-Teacher On-Policy Distillation (MOPD) paired with Context-RL and Video-RL. By distilling dense token-level teacher feedback from on-policy rollouts back into the MoE backbone, which activates only 3B parameters, Keye-VL-2.0 natively empowers advanced agent collaboration across Code, Tool, and Search scenarios with multimodal self-correction. Extensive evaluations across video understanding, temporal grounding, reasoning, STEM, and agent benchmarks demonstrate that Keye-VL-2.0-30B-A3B achieves state-of-the-art performance among models of similar scale, particularly excelling in fine-grained temporal localization on TimeLens and long-video comprehension on Video-MME-v2 and LongVideoBench. We release our model checkpoints to accelerate community progress toward scalable and robust multimodal agentic applications.

我们介绍了Kwai Keye-VL-2.0-30B-A3B,这是一个开源的混合专家(Mixture-of-Experts, MoE)多模态基础模型,旨在推动长视频理解和智能体智能的发展。为了应对超长上下文、信息冗余和小时级视频固有的高计算成本等挑战,Keye-VL-2.0首次将深度寻址稀疏注意力(DeepSeek Sparse Attention, DSA)应用于基于GQA的多模态架构,使得能够在捕捉关键帧和长距离时间依赖的同时,实现无损的256K上下文处理。该架构建立在高度优化的训练和推理基础设施之上,包括可扩展的视频输入/输出、异构ViT-LM并行处理以及自定义的DSA内核,这些都显著提高了吞吐量并最小化了计算开销。此外,为了克服多任务对齐过程中灾难性遗忘的算法困境,我们引入了跨模态多教师在线蒸馏(Cross-Modal Multi-Teacher On-Policy Distillation, MOPD),并结合上下文强化学习(Context-RL)和视频强化学习(Video-RL)。通过将来自在线策略回放的密集令牌级教师反馈蒸馏回MoE主干网络,该网络仅激活3B参数,Keye-VL-2.0原生地增强了在代码、工具和搜索场景中的高级智能体协作,具备多模态自我修正能力。针对视频理解、时间定位、推理、STEM和智能体基准的广泛评估表明,Keye-VL-2.0-30B-A3B在同规模模型中实现了最先进的性能,特别是在TimeLens上的细粒度时间定位和Video-MME-v2及LongVideoBench上的长视频理解方面表现优异。我们发布了模型检查点,以加速社区在可扩展和稳健的多模态智能体应用方面的进展。
