Qwen3.5-9B-VK-OPD-think-R3a

Private research checkpoint from round 3 of thinking-mode VK-OPD (run R3a, seed 3, step 80, picked on the dev split). Base: Qwen/Qwen3.5-9B (revision c202236235762e1c871ad0ccb60c8ee5ba337b9a), full fine-tune of the language-model layers and final norm, stored in bf16. The base model's MTP head is not included.

This run: Knowledge-question teacher sees the photo plus a system line; plain training questions only (no cues).

Method

Teachers are the frozen base model with privileged context; advantage per token = log ฯ€_teacher โˆ’ log ฯ€_student on the student's own samples.

  • Photo questions: photo + system "Answer from what is actually shown in the image, even if it differs from what is typical."
  • Knowledge questions: photo + system "Answer with what is generally true in the real world, even if the photo shows something different." (Round 1 used no photo here.)
  • The student's user turn (photo, question and any cue) is identical for student and teacher.
  • Data: Plain photo and knowledge questions only, 100% of draws. Only image pairs whose teacher answered every item correctly in 2 of 2 samples (280 conflict + 80 ordinary images).
  • 80 steps, lr 3e-6 (5 warmup), 8 image pairs (16 prompts) ร— 4 rollouts per step, rollouts up to 4,096 tokens, 4ร— H100.

Evaluation (private test v3, natural images, n 1,186, thinking on, card sampling, 1 sample)
