Claims

C1strongest claim

Thyme yields significant and consistent performance gains, particularly in challenging high-resolution perception and complex reasoning tasks.

C2weakest assumption

That the RL phase with GRPO-ATS will produce reliable autonomous decisions on when and how to apply code-based image manipulations without introducing execution errors or overfitting to the manually collected high-resolution QA pairs.

C3one line summary

Thyme trains MLLMs to autonomously generate executable code for image processing and math computations, yielding gains on high-resolution perception and complex reasoning benchmarks.
