## Senqiao/VisionThink-Efficient
This model is trained via reinforcement learning using [`Senqiao/VisionThink-Smart-Train`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Senqiao/VisionThink-Smart-Train), demonstrating enhanced performance and efficiency on general VQA tasks.

## Highlights
1. Our VisionThink leverages reinforcement learning to **autonomously** learn whether to reduce visual tokens. Compared to traditional efficient VLM approaches, our method achieves significant improvements on **fine-grained** benchmarks, such as those involving OCR-related tasks.
2. VisionThink improves performance on **General VQA** tasks while reducing visual tokens by **50%**, achieving **102%** of the original model’s performance across nine benchmarks.
3. VisionThink achieves strong performance and efficiency by simply resizing input images to reduce visual tokens. We hope this inspires further research into **Efficient Reasoning Vision Language Models**.
