New pipelines advance 3D spatial reasoning in multimodal AI models

Researchers have developed two distinct pipelines for adapting large multimodal models to 3D spatial reasoning tasks. The first pipeline fine-tuned the HiSpatial-3B model, significantly improving its accuracy on a custom spatial dataset from 1.73% to 79.89%. The second pipeline utilized QLoRA for memory-efficient fine-tuning of Qwen3-VL models, achieving accuracy gains from 20.74% to 45.27% for the 8B version and 30.79% to 47.60% for the 32B version. These efforts establish reproducible methods for geometry-aware multimodal systems and highlight the critical role of training data composition in maintaining general capabilities during specialization.
