Unified-Reward-7B-v1.5

Model Summary

Unified-Reward-7b-v1.5 is the enhanced version of Unified-Reward-7b based on LLaVA-OneVision-7b, the first unified reward model for multimodal understanding and generation assessment, enabling both pairwise ranking and pointwise scoring, which can be employed for vision model preference alignment.

🔥 News

[2025/10/23] 🔥🔥🔥 We release UnifiedReward-Edit-[3b/7b/32b/72b], a unified reward model for both Text-to-Image and Image-to-Image generation trained on approximately 700K unified image generation and editing reward data!! For image editing reward task, our models support:

1. Pairwise Rank — directly judge which of two edited images is better.

2. Pairwise Score — assign a separate score to each image in a pair.

3. Pointwise Score — rate a single image on two axes: instruction-following and overall image quality.

🚀 The image editing reward inference code is available at UnifiedReward-Edit/ directory, while T2I inference code is unchanged from previous models. The editing training data is preprocessed from EditScore and EditReward and will be released soon. We sincerely appreciate all contributors!!

[2025/9/25] 🔥🔥🔥 We release UnifiedReward-2.0-qwen-[3b/7b/32b/72b]. This version introduces several new capabilities:

1. Pairwise scoring for image and video generation assessment on Alignment, Coherence, Style dimensions.

2. Pointwise scoring for image and video generation assessment on Alignment, Coherence/Physics, Style dimensions.

The added inference code is available at inference_qwen/UnifiedReward-2.0-inference directory. The newly added training data has been released here 😊.

[2025/4/16] 🔥🔥 We updated the UnifiedReward-7B-v1.5 by introducing pointwise scoring for generated images across three dimensions: alignment, coherence, and style, each rated on a continuous scale from 1 to 5.

1. Alignment quantifies how well an image matches its prompt.

2. Coherence assesses the logical consistency of the image and the absence of artifacts or visual glitches.

3. Style reflects the visual appeal of the image, independent of the prompt.

Welcome to download the latest version!

Quick Start

All pair rank and point score inference codes are provided in our github.

We take image understanding assessment as example here:
