EVA01 is a unified native 3D framework for mesh understanding, shape generation, and context-aware editing. It integrates 3D meshes as a native modality through a Mixture-of-Transformers architecture with an Understanding Expert, a structurally mirrored Generation Expert, shared global self-attention, and hard modality routing.

EVA01-2B-Instruct-LoRA is the UND-side LoRA adapter release. It is intended for native 3D mesh understanding and open-ended question answering over .glb mesh input.

Model Details

Item	Description
Model	`SEELE-AI/EVA01-2B-Instruct-LoRA`
Release type	UND-side LoRA adapter
Base model	`Qwen/Qwen3-VL-2B-Instruct`
3D input	`.glb` mesh input through the EVA01 mesh UND processor
Components	PEFT adapter, EVA01 mesh UND encoder, connector, tokenizer, processor, and config files
Training recipe	Alignment followed by instruction tuning
Code	SeeleAI/OpenEVA
Project page	EVA01
Paper	arXiv:2605.16745

This repo does not include the full Qwen3-VL base weights. The EVA01 loader resolves the base model from the LoRA config by default. For offline or local deployment, pass a local base path through base_model_name_or_path.

Installation

EVA01 requires the OpenEVA code package in addition to the checkpoint files.

bash

git clone https://github.com/SeeleAI/OpenEVA.git
cd OpenEVA/EVA01
bash install.sh
source .venv/bin/activate

If a different CUDA wheel index is required, set TORCH_INDEX_URL before running the install script.

Quick Inference

CLI:

bash

python infer.py \
  --checkpoint SEELE-AI/EVA01-2B-Instruct-LoRA \
  --mesh assets/examples/construction_backhoe.glb \
  --question "Describe this 3D object in detail."

Python API:

python

import torch
from eva01 import EVA01ForConditionalGeneration, EVA01Processor

model = EVA01ForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained(
    "SEELE-AI/EVA01-2B-Instruct-LoRA",
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    device_map="auto",
)
processor = EVA01Processor.from_pretrained("SEELE-AI/EVA01-2B-Instruct-LoRA")

messages = [{
    "role": "user",
    "content": [
        {"type": "mesh", "mesh": "assets/examples/construction_backhoe.glb"},
        {"type": "text", "text": "Describe this 3D object in detail."},
    ],
}]

inputs = processor.apply_chat_template(
    messages,
    tokenize=True,
    add_generation_prompt=True,
    return_dict=True,
    return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

output_ids = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=128, do_sample=False)
text = processor.batch_decode(
    output_ids[:, inputs.input_ids.shape[1]:],
    skip_special_tokens=True,
    clean_up_tokenization_spaces=False,
)[0]
print(text)

Local base override:

python

model = EVA01ForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained(
    "SEELE-AI/EVA01-2B-Instruct-LoRA",
    base_model_name_or_path="/path/to/Qwen3-VL-2B-Instruct",
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    device_map="auto",
)

The public mesh token is <|mesh_und_pad|>. The processor returns input_ids, attention_mask, and mesh_und_values.

Gradio Chat

python app.py --checkpoint SEELE-AI/EVA01-2B-Instruct-LoRA --host 127.0.0.1 --port 7860

The OpenEVA app supports uploaded .glb files and includes 10 built-in TexVerse examples. The OpenEVA GitHub repository also contains a PBR-rendered example gallery.

PointLLM-200 Evaluation

The OpenEVA eval script downloads PointLLM-200 benchmark files staged in the Full checkpoint repo and writes results under EVA01/outputs/pointllm200/.

python eval_pointllm200.py --variant lora

The deterministic path computes BLEU, ROUGE, METEOR, Sentence-BERT, and SimCSE with fixed seed 20260615 and greedy generation. GPT-ref and GPT-img judge paths are available when OPENAI_API_KEY is set.

The PointLLM-200 benchmark source is cited as RunsenXu/PointLLM.

Metrics

All metrics below are reported on PointLLM-200 with 200 samples, fixed seed 20260615, and greedy decoding. GPT-ref and GPT-img are judge metrics and may vary with judge model and API settings.

Intended Use

This checkpoint is intended for research and development around 3D mesh understanding, 3D asset captioning, and mesh-grounded question answering. It expects mesh input through the EVA01 processor and should be used with the OpenEVA runtime/API.

Limitations

The public release focuses on the UND-side path.
This LoRA repo does not include the full Qwen3-VL base weights.
Model quality depends on mesh geometry, scale, topology, materials, and texture availability.
Outputs may contain incorrect or unsupported details when the mesh is ambiguous, incomplete, or visually underspecified.
GPT-ref and GPT-img scores are judge references and are not bitwise reproducible across judge model or API changes.
