The pith
A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.
The reading
What carries the argument
The load-bearing mechanism is the token-budget compromise: a ConvAdapter that halves the spatial grid of vision tokens while preserving channel dimension, a large hidden-size MLP that benefits from that compact representation, and the Eagle Module that adds a second vision encoder's tokens only when needed. This trio keeps the average training sequence length under 1,000 tokens while allowing single-image inference to scale to 1,000-2,000 tokens, matching models that use 4,000-8,000 tokens per image.
What would settle it
Releasing Ecom-VQA and having an independent lab re-run Valley2 alongside Qwen2-VL-7B and InternVL2-8B under identical settings would settle it; if the 79.66 versus 72.76 margin shrinks to near parity or the benchmark leaks training data, the claim loses its basis.
Extended reading notes
Core claim
Valley2's central claim is that a 7B model can reach competitive general multimodal performance and best-in-class e-commerce understanding without paying the token cost of high-resolution tiling on every input. The design pairs a large two-layer MLP projector with a ConvAdapter that uses a 2x2 convolution to fold four spatial tokens into one, keeping the MLP input dimension at the vision encoder's width instead of quadrupling it as PixelShuffle would. An additional parallel vision encoder, the Eagle Module, supplies extra tokens for extreme aspect ratios and OCR-heavy inputs while remaining constrained to the same token budget during training. On the authors' in-house Ecom-VQA benchmark Valley2 scores 79.66, and on OpenCompass it averages 67.4 across eight benchmarks. The paper further shows that chain-of-thought post-training adds about 1.3 points to the OpenCompass average.
Load-bearing premise
The headline e-commerce result rests on the validity of the in-house Ecom-VQA benchmark, which contains 536 multiple-choice pairs, has not been publicly released, and was used to tune the very hyperparameters the paper then evaluates.
Editorial extensions
If this is right
- Valley2 reaches state-of-the-art accuracy on e-commerce VQA among open models of comparable size, as measured by the authors' Ecom-VQA benchmark.
- It ranks second on the OpenCompass leaderboard among models with fewer than 10B parameters, with an average score of 67.4.
- The ConvAdapter and Eagle Module design keeps average training sequence length under 1,000 tokens, and packing improves training efficiency by a factor of 2.2.
- Chain-of-thought post-training raises the OpenCompass average from 66.11 to 67.40, showing that systematic reasoning data helps even on general benchmarks.
- Code and model weights are open-sourced, allowing independent reproduction and application to other domains.
Reading between the lines
- If the token-budget compromise generalizes, the same ConvAdapter-style compression could extend to audio inputs or longer video sequences, where token count is the main bottleneck.
- The Ecom-VQA benchmark's four-way cyclic testing checks answer-position consistency, but an independent evaluation without the authors' hyperparameter tuning on the same data would clarify whether the margin over Qwen2-VL-7B is robust.
- A testable extension would be to apply Valley2's ConvAdapter to other vision encoders while omitting the Eagle Module, isolating whether the compression or the extra encoder drives the e-commerce gains.
- The paper's planned omni-model incorporating audio suggests the authors expect the same architectural pattern to transfer across modalities, but that claim is not yet supported by results here.

A structured set of objections, weighed in public.
Referee Report
Summary. The paper presents Valley2, a 7B-parameter multimodal large language model built on Qwen2.5 and SigLIP, with a large-MLP projector combined with a ConvAdapter for token compression, an optional Eagle Module for high-resolution inputs, and a chain-of-thought (CoT) post-training stage. The authors claim state-of-the-art performance on an in-house e-commerce benchmark (Ecom-VQA 79.66 vs. Qwen2-VL-7B 72.76), second place among sub-10B models on the OpenCompass leaderboard (average 67.4), and an average training sequence length under 1,000 tokens. The paper also describes data curation for e-commerce and short-video domains, a packing strategy for training efficiency, and ablations for each architectural component. Code and model weights are released.
Significance. If the claims hold, Valley2 is a competitive and efficient design for practical multimodal applications, and the open-source release allows independent verification of the OpenCompass ranking, which is a concrete strength. The architectural contributions (ConvAdapter, large MLP, Eagle Module) are clearly described and ablated. However, the headline e-commerce SOTA rests on a small, unreleased 536-item benchmark that is also used for model selection, so the e-commerce claim is not currently established to the standard expected for a journal publication. The external OpenCompass result is the more defensible claim and is readily checkable.
major comments (3)
- [Section 3.2 and Table 4] The headline Ecom-VQA result is based on only 536 QA pairs, and the benchmark is not publicly released. For 536 independent binary items, the standard error of the difference between two proportions near 0.75 is roughly 2.6 percentage points, so the reported margin of 6.9 points (79.66 vs. 72.76) is not robust to modest contamination or selection effects. Please report confidence intervals (or bootstrap replicates) and provide the benchmark, or at minimum a detailed statistical analysis, to support the claimed margin.
- [Section 6.1 and Table 5] The ablation study selects hyperparameters (MLP hidden size, ConvAdapter vs. PixelShuffle, Eagle Module, and annealing) using the same Ecom-VQA and OpenCompass benchmarks that are later reported as headline results. This makes the reported Ecom-VQA score an optimistically biased estimate of performance on new data. The authors should either use a held-out validation set for model selection or report selection-adjusted estimates, such as nested cross-validation or a clear statement of how many configurations were tried.
- [Section 3.2 and Table 1] The manuscript states that the proposed benchmarks are used to track and assess the development of capabilities, while Table 1 lists Inhouse Ecom-Data in every training category, including General, Reasoning, OCR, and OneVision tasks. The paper does not demonstrate that Ecom-VQA questions and images are disjoint from the in-house training data, so the comparison against Qwen2-VL-7B could be contaminated by training on the same distribution or even the same instances. Please provide a detailed overlap/leakage analysis and clarify the provenance of the benchmark items relative to the training corpus.
minor comments (6)
- [Section 5.1 and Table 3] The average score for Valley2 is listed as 67.40, but the table column header includes an unused 'A VG' column; please clarify how the average is computed and whether it matches the OpenCompass aggregate.
- [Section 6.4 and Table 8] The CoT ablation row reports an OpenCompass improvement but leaves the E-VQA cell blank; please state explicitly whether CoT was evaluated on Ecom-VQA and, if not, why.
- [Section 6.1] The text says the intermediate MLP dimension (Dh) is set to '1/5 of the LLM vocabulary size', but Table 5 reports a default MLP hidden size of 3584, which equals the Qwen2.5-7B hidden dimension rather than one-fifth of its vocabulary size. This appears to be a typo and should be corrected.
- [Section 4.2 and 6.3] The packing ablation reports a 2.2x training speedup, while the text in Section 6.3 says training time is reduced 'by a factor of approximately 2–3'; please reconcile these numbers for consistency.
- [References] Several references contain 'arXiv preprint arXiv:unknown' (e.g., [24], [46], [73], [87]); these entries are incomplete and should be updated with the correct identifiers or venues.
- [Section 8] The 'Coming Soon' section listing future work is unusual for a journal article; consider removing it or moving it to a separate document to keep the paper focused.
Circularity Check
No formal derivation-level circularity; the headline Ecom-VQA score (79.66) is the same ablation-selected value used to choose the architecture, while OpenCompass provides independent external support.
-
fitted input called prediction
[Section 6.1, Table 5; Section 5.2, Table 4; Abstract]
"To evaluate the contribution of each component, we conducted a series of ablation studies, with results summarized in Table 5. ... Ecom-VQA and OpenCompass evaluate the performance of the model after stage-2 training. ... Exp 6 ✓ ✓ ✓ 9× 37.45 79.66 66.1"
The abstract and Table 4 report Valley-7B's 79.66 on Ecom-VQA as the state-of-the-art result. Table 5 shows that the same 79.66 is the E-VQA score of the configuration selected by the ablation (Eagle Module enabled, MLP hidden size 9x, ConvAdapter, Qwen2.5). The hyperparameters were therefore chosen using the same 536-pair in-house benchmark on which the headline number is reported, making that number a selection score rather than an independent prediction. The paper provides no separate holdout split, no error bars, and no leakage analysis, so the 6.9-point margin over Qwen2-VL-7B is not protected against selection effects. The OpenCompass 67.40 score is an external leaderboard result and remains independent, which keeps the circularity partial and empirical rather than definitional.
full rationale
This paper has no formal mathematical derivation chain, so there are no equations whose outputs are identical to their inputs by construction. The self-citations to Valley [54] are contextual and not load-bearing; the Eagle Module [66] is an external citation. The independent OpenCompass evaluation (average 67.4, rank 2 under 10B) is externally checkable from released weights, and the packing and CoT ablations on OpenCompass retain independent content. The demonstrated circular element is the Ecom-VQA headline: Section 6.1's Table 5 uses E-VQA to select the final architecture, and the same 79.66 value is then reported as the SOTA in Table 4 and the abstract. This is a model-selection-on-the-evaluation-benchmark problem, not a definitional identification, so it warrants a moderate score rather than 6+. Additionally, the paper does not establish that Ecom-VQA is disjoint from the in-house Ecom training data listed in Table 1, especially given Section 3.2's statement that the proposed benchmarks are used to track and assess capability development; I treat that as an evaluation-validity risk rather than a separately proven circular step.

Recently, vision-language models have made remarkable progress, demonstrating outstanding capabilities in various tasks such as image captioning and video understanding. We introduce Valley2, a novel multimodal large language model designed to enhance performance across all domains and extend the boundaries of practical applications in e-commerce and short video scenarios. Notably, Valley2 achieves state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance on e-commerce benchmarks, surpassing open-source models of similar size by a large margin (79.66 vs. 72.76). Additionally, Valley2 ranks second on the OpenCompass leaderboard among models with fewer than 10B parameters, with an impressive average score of 67.4. The code and model weights are open-sourced at https://github.com/bytedance/Valley.
