Results
Dataset-level comparison
Video-ORA-9B leads the matched seven-family comparison without chain-of-thought
decoding. Best and second-best values are highlighted per row; † denotes an
original-report value whose frame, prompt, split, or decoding settings may
differ. Averages require complete family coverage.
See the OraRL repository,
project page, and

Quick start
vLLM serving
pip install "vllm==0.19.1" openai
vllm serve OraRL/Video-ORA-9B \
--served-model-name Video-ORA-9B \
--port 8000 \
--tensor-parallel-size 1 \
--max-model-len 262144 \
--reasoning-parser qwen3 \
--media-io-kwargs '{"video": {"num_frames": -1}}' \
--limit-mm-per-prompt '{"image": 1, "video": 1}'
Reduce --max-model-len if KV-cache memory is limited. Increase
--tensor-parallel-size for multi-GPU serving. Model-weight loading occupies
approximately 17.6 GiB in the tested BF16 vLLM environment; this is not a
full peak-memory measurement.
Send an OpenAI-compatible video request:
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(base_url="http://localhost:8000/v1", api_key="EMPTY")
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model="Video-ORA-9B",
messages=[
{
"role": "user",
"content": [
{
"type": "video_url",
"video_url": {
"url": "https://orarl.github.io/assets/orarl-teaser.mp4"
},
},
{
"type": "text",
"text": "Describe the video and answer the question directly.",
},
],
}
],
max_tokens=128,
temperature=0.0,
extra_body={
"top_k": 20,
"chat_template_kwargs": {"enable_thinking": False},
"mm_processor_kwargs": {"fps": 2, "do_sample_frames": True},
},
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)
Replace the demo URL with your own accessible video URL. For local files,
launch vLLM with an appropriate --allowed-local-media-path.
Qwen3.5 requires a recent Transformers version:
pip install "transformers[serving] @ git+https://github.com/huggingface/transformers.git@main"
pip install accelerate torchvision pillow
transformers serve \
--force-model OraRL/Video-ORA-9B \
--port 8000 \
--continuous-batching
The checkpoint also contains the tokenizer, processor configuration, generation
configuration, and chat template required by compatible Transformers and vLLM
releases. Task-specific prompts and output schemas are documented on the
project page.
Intended use
Video-ORA-9B is intended for research on structured image/video perception,
benchmark evaluation, and task-specific adaptation. Use direct answer prompts
with enable_thinking=False to match the reported evaluation protocol.
Out-of-scope uses include safety-critical decisions, identity inference,
surveillance deployment, or use that violates the licenses or consent
requirements of upstream media.
Training data
Training uses public training splits from the task families described in the
paper. Evaluation identities, questions, and media anchors are excluded during
mixture construction. Dataset and media licenses remain governed by their
original sources; no training or benchmark media are distributed with this
checkpoint.
Limitations
Video-ORA-9B is a research checkpoint optimized for structured video and
spatial-understanding tasks. It may produce malformed task-specific outputs,
hallucinate visual details, or inherit limitations and biases from its base
model and training data. It has not been validated for safety-critical or
high-stakes use.
License
The checkpoint is released under the Apache License 2.0. It is derived from
Qwen3.5-9B, which is also distributed
under Apache 2.0.
