VideoTIR: Accurate Understanding for Long Videos with Efficient Tool-Integrated Reasoning

Existing Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) often suffer from hallucinations in long video understanding (LVU), primarily due to the imbalance between textual and visual tokens. Observing that MLLMs handle short visual inputs well, recent LVU works alleviate hallucinations by automatically parsing the vast visual data into manageable segments that can be effectively processed by MLLMs. SFT-based tool-calling methods can serve this purpose, but they typically require vast amounts of fine-grained, high-quality data and suffer from constrained tool-calling trajectories. We propose a novel VideoTIR that leverages Reinforcement Learning (RL) to encourage proper usage of comprehensive multi-level toolkits for efficient long video understanding. VideoTIR explores both Zero-RL and SFT cold-starting to enable MLLMs to retrieve and focus on meaningful video segments/images/regions, enhancing long video understanding both accurately and efficiently. To reduce redundant tool-calling, we propose Toolkit Action Grouped Policy Optimization (TAGPO), which enhances the efficiency of the calling process through stepwise reward assignment and reuse of failed rollouts. Additionally, we develop a sandbox-based trajectory synthesis framework to generate high-quality trajectories data. Extensive experiments on three long-video QA benchmarks demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of our method.
