EgoCross is a cross-domain egocentric video question answering benchmark designed to evaluate whether multimodal large language models can generalize beyond common daily-life scenarios. The first EgoCross Challenge was hosted at the Third EgoVis Workshop at CVPR 2026 and evaluated models on first-person videos from four target domains: surgery, industrial assembly, extreme sports, and animal perspectives. Each test example consists of an egocentric video clip, a question, and four candidate answers, from which the model must select the correct option. This technical report introduces the challenge task, benchmark resources, and two official Codabench tracks. The Source-Limited Track restricts participants to the official baseline model and a small support set, whereas the Open-Source Track permits broader choices of models and training data under rules that prohibit the manual construction of target-domain training data. In total, the challenge received more than 1,500 submissions from over 130 participants, with 19 teams participating in the Open-Source Track and 38 teams in the Source-Limited Track. We further present the official leaderboard results and summarize the winning solutions from both tracks. We hope that this report will serve as a useful technical reference for advancing cross-domain egocentric video understanding. All resources, including the challenge data, baseline implementation, and code released by the winning teams, are made publicly available.

Workflow generation in visual creation systems such as ComfyUI demands not only syntactic accuracy but also expert-level reasoning over modular compositions. Existing large language model (LLM) approaches often treat this as a direct text-to-JSON generation task, struggling with structural brittleness and lacking the experiential knowledge required for effective design. We argue that successful workflow generation requires modeling knowledge itself, including its structure, hierarchy, and reasoning dynamics. To this end, we propose a knowledge-centric framework that learns to invert, inject, and infer with knowledge across multiple abstraction levels. We first perform knowledge inversion to distill hierarchical representations, ranging from full pseudo-codes and skeletons to high-level strategies, from large collections of real-world workflows. We then conduct knowledge injection through supervised fine-tuning, teaching the model to reason from task descriptions to strategies and from strategies to executable structures. During inference, the model performs reversible reasoning to synthesize executable workflows, augmented by self-refinement for structural coherence. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method produces workflows with richer node diversity, more coherent structures, and higher execution success rates than existing systems, establishing a new foundation for knowledge-driven, agentic workflow generation.
