Researchers have introduced OmniCoT, a new benchmark suite designed to evaluate and improve the panoramic spatial reasoning capabilities of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs). Existing benchmarks often overlook the full 360° potential of panoramic imagery, focusing instead on simpler, local cues. OmniCoT aims to enable MLLMs to perform complex, multi-step reasoning across viewpoints by providing structured Chain-of-Thought annotations for training and evaluation datasets. The suite includes OmniCoT-B for evaluation, OmniCoT-Real for assessing the sim-to-real gap, and OmniCoT-T for training, along with a two-stage training strategy that anchors reasoning to panoramic evidence and penalizes geometric incoherence.
