Question about RL for Unified Models

Discovered On Jun 9, 2026
Primary Metric open
HunyuanImage3 | Unified AR + diffusion | Text → Image | ✅ -- | -- | -- | -- Bagel | Unified AR + diffusion | Text → Image | ✅ Thanks for the great job! Can this RL framework support these two models on Image+Text → Text, that is, the image understanding task?

Thanks for your interest!

Yes, the framework already supports the image understanding task (Image + Text → Text). We currently ship Qwen2.5-VL with full RL support — see the `unirl/models/qwen_vl/` pipeline and the example recipe `examples/ar/qwen_vl_grpo_geo3k_mc_4x8.yaml` (GRPO on Geometry3K, with SGLang and LoRA variants as well; we have tested the training and the reward curve increases well).

Thanks a lot. Qwen2.5-VL is ok. How about the RL for image understanding task on Bagel?

Hi, great work. Can this RL framework support think mode, like UniGRPO.
