Our workshop intends to probe deeper into fundamental questions and foster critical dialogues that will spur the next generation of multimedia intelligence. These discussions will examine not only how diverse models can be combined or tuned for improved performance and generalization, but also how evolving model architectures, emerging data modalities, and scalable training paradigms can shape new forms of synergy. The scope of this workshop includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:

• Re-Imagine Collaborative Frameworks. Explore novel multi-model interaction paradigms;

• Integrate Multimodal and Cross-Domain Perspectives in Collaboration and Evolution;

• Evolve Toward Robustness, Interpretability, and Fairness;

• Highlight the impact of collaborative and evolving models on solving real-world challenges;

• Encourage the creation of novel datasets, benchmarks, and open-source toolkits.
