Lumian-VLR-7B-Thinking

Lumian-VLR-7B-Thinking

The Lumian-VLR-7B-Thinking model is a high-fidelity vision-language reasoning (experimental model) system designed for fine-grained multimodal understanding. Built on Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct, this model enhances image captioning, sampled video reasoning, and document comprehension through explicit grounded reasoning. It produces structured reasoning traces aligned with visual coordinates, enabling explainable multimodal reasoning. Trained via supervised fine-tuning (SFT) on visually-grounded reasoning traces and further refined using GRPO reinforcement learning, Lumian delivers superior step-by-step chain-of-thought reasoning with strong visual grounding.

Quick Start with Transformers(think-preview)🤗

pip install git+https://github.com/huggingface/transformers.git

# Load Lumian-VLR-7B-Thinking
from transformers import Qwen2_5_VLForConditionalGeneration, AutoTokenizer, AutoProcessor
from qwen_vl_utils import process_vision_info

MODEL_ID = "prithivMLmods/Lumian-VLR-7B-Thinking"
SUBFOLDER = "think-preview"
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(MODEL_ID, trust_remote_code=True, subfolder=SUBFOLDER)
model = Qwen2_5_VLForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained(
    MODEL_ID,
    trust_remote_code=True,
    subfolder=SUBFOLDER,
    torch_dtype=torch.float16
).to(device).eval()

Key Enhancements

• Visually-Grounded Reasoning and Thinking Traces: Generates explicit reasoning traces tied to image regions and document structures for transparent and explainable outputs.
• Advanced Image Captioning: Produces detailed, grounded captions with reasoning steps for improved scene understanding.
• Sampled Video Reasoning: Handles long-duration videos with temporal reasoning for question answering and summarization.
• Context-Aware Document Analysis: Excels at structured and unstructured content extraction with visual grounding.
• Fine-Grained Visual Grounding: Accurately links reasoning steps to tables, charts, and graphical elements.
• Reinforcement-Learned Thinking: GRPO training incentivizes accurate, grounded reasoning with minimal hallucinations.

Thinking Traces

The model outputs reasoning and answers in a structured format:

<think>
Step 1: Identify the main elements in the image and their positions.
Step 2: Analyze the relationships between objects and surrounding context.
Step 3: Derive the final answer based on spatial reasoning and visual cues.
