 "title": "Evaluate the controller on vision-language tasks",
 "page_title": "How to evaluate the controller on vision-language tasks with State of Thought",
 "summary": "Run the Qwen2.5-VL controller on A-OKVQA, AI2D, or M3CoT.",
 "who": "A multimodal researcher who wants to test whether state-based evidence control transfers to image-plus-question reasoning.",
 "problem": "Vision-language runs need extra dependencies and a different config than text runs, and mixing them up gives results that do not match the release.",
 "outcome": "An evaluation summary for a Qwen2.5-VL backbone on one of the three released vision-language benchmarks, with records written in the same format as the text runs.",
 "steps": [
  "Run `python -m pip install -e \".[vlm]\"` inside the activated virtual environment (inferred, check the README)",
  "Run `ls experiments/paper/` and pick the Qwen2.5-VL config file (inferred, check the README)",
  "Prepare the visual data as described in `data/README.md`",
  "Run `sot data validate --config experiments/paper/<qwen2.5-vl config>.yaml` (inferred, check the README)",
  "Run `sot evaluate --config experiments/paper/<qwen2.5-vl config>.yaml` (inferred, check the README)"
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the repo GongZhiren/State-of-Thought, install the package with the vlm extra, choose the Qwen2.5-VL config under experiments/paper/, then run sot data validate and sot evaluate on it. Report the benchmark, the backbone variant, and the evaluation summary path.",

 "difficulty": "Advanced",
 "time": "2 hours",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README lists Qwen2.5-VL-32B as BF16, which needs substantial GPU memory, and the vision-language extras are installed with a separate command the README describes only as adding .[vlm].",

 "lang": "python",
 "requirements": [
  "Python with pip and git installed",
