Staged post-training that first solidifies visual perception before visual and textual reasoning improves VLM accuracy and shortens reasoning traces on visual math and perception benchmarks.
VCap pairs reference captions as witnesses with visual signals as adjudicators to deliver hypergeometric-precision rewards for RL in visual captioning, enabling an 8B model to outperform SOTA on benchmarks and improve weak-to-strong generalization.
