Spatial-SSRL-Qwen3VL-4B-FP8 is an FP8-compressed variant built on top of internlm/Spatial-SSRL-Qwen3VL-4B. This edition applies BF16 · FP8 (F8_E4M3) precision formats to reduce memory footprint and increase inference throughput, while preserving the spatial reasoning and multimodal understanding strengths of the original 4B architecture.

The base Spatial-SSRL-Qwen3VL-4B model is a spatially enhanced vision-language model built upon Qwen3-VL-4B-Instruct. It integrates Spatial-SSRL, a lightweight self-supervised reinforcement learning paradigm designed to scale RLVR efficiently. The model demonstrates strong spatial intelligence while maintaining the original general visual capabilities of its base architecture.

[!important] FP8 (8-bit floating point) weight and activation quantization using hardware acceleration on GPUs – FP8 W8A8. Quantization W8A8 FP8-dynamic recipe – examples.

About Spatial-SSRL

Spatial-SSRL is a lightweight, tool-free framework naturally compatible with the RLVR training paradigm and easy to extend to a wide range of pretext tasks.

The framework currently formulates five spatially oriented tasks, requiring only standard RGB or RGB-D images. It is modular and extensible, enabling the research community to introduce new spatial pretext objectives that further strengthen large vision-language models.

We welcome contributions to expand Spatial-SSRL with effective spatial reasoning tasks that enhance LVLM capabilities.
