Research direction

Start with the official SFT training entry point and the lmms-eval run mentioned in the report. Reproduce the comparison between the release and retrained models on MathVista, MathVision, MathVerse, and MMMU-Pro, then determine whether the observed gap is expected or indicates a training or evaluation problem.

Description

Hey the team,

Thanks for the great work. I have a problem about the SFT training: I found that the model performance after running the official SFT training seems to be lower than the reported number as shown the table below. Though I'm temporarily using Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct as the judge, there's still a huge gap between the release model and the re-trained model, especially on large datasets like MathVista, MathVision, MathVerse, and MMMU-Pro. Some of them are outside the resulting stderr from the lmms-eval, making me feel concerning.

I haven't run the RL and compared with their downstream results yet but just wanna know if that's normal or not. Looking forward to your guidance. Thanks!
