## Introduction

We propose **SPARK**, **a unified framework that integrates policy and reward into a single model for joint and synchronous training**. SPARK can automatically derive reward and reflection data from verifiable reward, enabling **self-learning** and **self-evolution**. Furthermore, we instantiate this framework on multiple backbones, training SPARK-VL-7B, SPARK-7B, and SPARK-VL-32B. This repo is the **SPARK-VL-7B**.

## 📢 News
- 🚀 [09/29/2025] We release our 🤗<a href="https://huggingface.co/datasets/internlm/Spark-Data">datasets</a>.
- 🚀 [09/29/2025] We release our **Spark's** 📖<a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2509.22624">Paper</a>.
- 🚀 [09/29/2025] We upload our evaluation code and 🤗<a href="https://huggingface.co/internlm/Spark-VL-7B">models</a>.
- 🚀 [09/29/2025] We release **Spark** 🏠<a href="https://github.com/InternLM/Spark">Github repository</a>.

## 💡 Highlights
- 🔥 **Synergistic Policy–Reward Co-Evolving (SPARK)**: We introduce SPARK, a unified reinforcement fine-tuning framework that jointly optimizes policy and reward within a single model through on-policy co-evolution..
- 🔥 **Recycling Rollouts**: Unlike conventional RL pipelines that discard rollouts after policy updates, SPARK recycles RLVR rollouts into pointwise, pairwise, and reflection objectives, enabling the model itself to act as both a strong policy and a generative reward model.
- 🔥 **Co-Evolving Mechanism**: Improved reward accuracy provides better gradients for policy learning, while stronger reasoning further refines reward judgment, forming a positive feedback loop that enhances reasoning, judgment, and reflection in synergy.
- 🔥 **Efficient and Practical**: SPARK requires no human preference data, teacher models, or external reward models, making it significantly more data- and compute-efficient than traditional RM-based RL pipelines.

## 🛠️ Usage
### 🤗 Using Transformers

Our model is based on Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct. You can use the same code as the Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct model for inference, referring to <a href="https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct">🤗Huggingface</a>.
```python
from transformers import Qwen2_5_VLForConditionalGeneration, AutoTokenizer, AutoProcessor
from qwen_vl_utils import process_vision_info

model = Qwen2_5_VLForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained(
    "internlm/Spark-VL-7B",
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    attn_implementation="flash_attention_2",
    device_map="auto",
)

processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("internlm/Spark-VL-7B")

messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {
                "type": "image",
                "image": image_path,
            },
            {"type": "text", "text": prompt},
        ],
    }
]

# Preparation for inference
text = processor.apply_chat_template(
    messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True
)
image_inputs, video_inputs = process_vision_info(messages)
inputs = processor(
    text=[text],
    images=image_inputs,
    videos=video_inputs,
    padding=True,
    return_tensors="pt",
)
inputs = inputs.to("cuda")

# Inference: Generation of the output
generated_ids = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=128)
generated_ids_trimmed = [
    out_ids[len(in_ids) :] for in_ids, out_ids in zip(inputs.input_ids, generated_ids)
]
output_text = processor.batch_decode(
    generated_ids_trimmed, skip_special_tokens=True, clean_up_tokenization_spaces=False
)
print(output_text)
```

### 🔦 Using vLLM

We recommend using **vLLM** for faster inference speed. Using vLLM leads to significant speed improvements in dataset evaluation.
```bash
PORT=8019
N_PROC=256
SERVE_NAME=spark_vl_7b
MODEL_PATH=/internlm/Spark-VL-7B

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1,2,3 vllm serve "$MODEL_PATH" \
  --tensor-parallel-size 4 \
  --served-model-name $SERVE_NAME \
  --port $PORT \
  --max-num-seqs $N_PROC
```


## Training

### Spark Training 
After downloading the dataset, you can start training using the following example bash script. Our bash scripts are in ```/Spark/Lmm_XC/XC/scripts/spark_training```
You need to modify the dataset paths and model paths to your own locations.
```
export WORKSPACE_DIR="/fs-computility/....../Lmm_XC"                 # Path to project root directory
export DATASET_PATH="/fs-computility/....../infer_data_ViRL_19k.json"            # Path to your dataset
export PRETRAIN_MODEL_PATH="/fs-computility/....../Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct"  # Path to pretrained model
export WANDB_PROJECT="Observation"        # Name for this project
export MODEL_CPK_NAME="Qwen2.5-VL-7B-GRPO-virl-19k-iar-reflection-hyb-diverse-bs64-e2"         # Name for this training run
export LOG_PATH='/fs-computility/....../Qwen2.5-VL-7B-GRPO-virl-19k-iar-reflection-hyb-diverse-bs64-e2.txt'      #Log file save path


export WANDB_API_KEY="......"
export SAVE_PATH="/fs-computility/....../${WANDB_PROJECT}/${MODEL_CPK_NAME}"                   # Absolute path to save everything about this training run
export CKPT_PATH="${SAVE_PATH}/ckpt"                                                                    # Path to save checkpoints                                    
export FINAL_CKPT_PATH="${SAVE_PATH}/final_ckpt"                                                        # Path to save final checkpoints
export TIMESTAMP=$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)                                                                 # Timestamp
export CUR_LOG_DIR="${SAVE_PATH}/training_logs/${TIMESTAMP}"                                            # Path to save current run logs
export LOG_DIR="${SAVE_PATH}/tb_logs"  
```
⏰ Attention:
```
export DEV_MODE=0 # Set to 1 for debug mode on single dev machine
```

## Evaluation
The integrated multimodal mathematics dataset can be downloaded from 🤗<a href="https://huggingface.co/datasets/internlm/Spark-Data">datasets</a> and evaluated using the scripts provided in the `Evaluation` folder. The evaluation results will be stored, and accuracy can subsequently be computed with the `calculate_acc.py` file.
```
bash ./Evaluation/eval_spark_vl_7b.sh
python calculate_acc.py --result_path ./your_result_path.json
```
