EVA01 is a unified native 3D framework for mesh understanding, shape generation, and context-aware editing. It integrates 3D meshes as a native modality through a Mixture-of-Transformers architecture with an Understanding Expert, a structurally mirrored Generation Expert, shared global self-attention, and hard modality routing.

`EVA01-2B-Instruct` is the UND-side Full checkpoint release. It is intended for native 3D mesh understanding and open-ended question answering over `.glb` mesh input.

## Model Details

| --- | --- |
| Model | `SEELE-AI/EVA01-2B-Instruct` |
| Release type | UND-side Full checkpoint |
| Backbone | Qwen3-VL language backbone |
| 3D input | `.glb` mesh input through the EVA01 mesh UND processor |
| Components | Qwen3-VL weights, EVA01 mesh UND encoder, connector, tokenizer, processor, and config files |
| Training recipe | Alignment followed by instruction tuning |
| Code | [SeeleAI/OpenEVA](https://github.com/SeeleAI/OpenEVA) |
| Project page | [EVA01](https://www.seeles.ai/research/pages/EVA01) |
| Paper | [arXiv:2605.16745](https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.16745) |

## Installation

EVA01 requires the OpenEVA code package in addition to the checkpoint files.

```bash
git clone https://github.com/SeeleAI/OpenEVA.git
cd OpenEVA/EVA01
bash install.sh
source .venv/bin/activate
```

If a different CUDA wheel index is required, set `TORCH_INDEX_URL` before running the install script.

```bash
TORCH_INDEX_URL=https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu121 bash install.sh
```

## Quick Inference

CLI:

```bash
python infer.py \
  --checkpoint SEELE-AI/EVA01-2B-Instruct \
  --mesh assets/examples/construction_backhoe.glb \
  --question "Describe this 3D object in detail."
```

Python API:

```python
import torch
from eva01 import EVA01ForConditionalGeneration, EVA01Processor

model = EVA01ForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained(
    "SEELE-AI/EVA01-2B-Instruct",
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    device_map="auto",
)
processor = EVA01Processor.from_pretrained("SEELE-AI/EVA01-2B-Instruct")

messages = [{
    "role": "user",
    "content": [
        {"type": "mesh", "mesh": "assets/examples/construction_backhoe.glb"},
        {"type": "text", "text": "Describe this 3D object in detail."},
    ],
}]

inputs = processor.apply_chat_template(
    messages,
    tokenize=True,
    add_generation_prompt=True,
    return_dict=True,
    return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

output_ids = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=128, do_sample=False)
text = processor.batch_decode(
    output_ids[:, inputs.input_ids.shape[1]:],
    skip_special_tokens=True,
    clean_up_tokenization_spaces=False,
)[0]
print(text)
```

The public mesh token is `<|mesh_und_pad|>`. The processor returns `input_ids`, `attention_mask`, and `mesh_und_values`.

## Gradio Chat

```bash
python app.py --host 127.0.0.1 --port 7860
```

The app loads this Full checkpoint by default, supports uploaded `.glb` files, and includes 10 built-in TexVerse examples. The OpenEVA GitHub repository also contains a PBR-rendered example gallery.

## PointLLM-200 Evaluation

The OpenEVA eval script downloads the PointLLM-200 benchmark files staged in this checkpoint repo and writes results under `EVA01/outputs/pointllm200/`.

```bash
python eval_pointllm200.py --variant full
```

The deterministic path computes BLEU, ROUGE, METEOR, Sentence-BERT, and SimCSE with fixed seed `20260615` and greedy generation. GPT-ref and GPT-img judge paths are available when `OPENAI_API_KEY` is set.

The PointLLM-200 benchmark source is cited as [`RunsenXu/PointLLM`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/RunsenXu/PointLLM).

## Metrics

All metrics below are reported on PointLLM-200 with 200 samples, fixed seed `20260615`, and greedy decoding. GPT-ref and GPT-img are judge metrics and may vary with judge model and API settings.

| Model | B-1 | B-4 | R-L | METEOR | SBERT | SimCSE | GPT-ref | GPT-img |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| PointLLM-13B | 7.873 | 0.649 | 10.519 | 13.620 | 47.539 | 48.602 | 51.735 | 49.745 |
| ShapeLLM-13B | 10.542 | 1.050 | 12.954 | 14.234 | 39.935 | 40.728 | 33.925 | 35.870 |

| **EVA01-2B-Instruct** | 6.386 | 0.589 | 9.443 | 13.505 | 50.651 | 50.767 | 59.045 | 70.335 |
| EVA01-2B-Instruct-LoRA | 6.372 | 0.607 | 9.455 | 13.567 | 51.194 | 51.320 | **59.560** | **71.480** |

## Intended Use

This checkpoint is intended for research and development around 3D mesh understanding, 3D asset captioning, and mesh-grounded question answering. It expects mesh input through the EVA01 processor and should be used with the OpenEVA runtime/API.

## Limitations

- The public release focuses on the UND-side path.
- Model quality depends on mesh geometry, scale, topology, materials, and texture availability.
- Outputs may contain incorrect or unsupported details when the mesh is ambiguous, incomplete, or visually underspecified.
- GPT-ref and GPT-img scores are judge references and are not bitwise reproducible across judge model or API changes.
