Towards Scalable RLVR: Multimodal Instruction Following Data Synthesis and Distillation

Yirong Zeng, Zhang Sai, Yuxian Wang +4

Multimodal instruction following (MMIF) is crucial for building generalist agents. However, current training paradigms rely heavily on Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT), which often lea…
