+
+We strategically construct a high-quality dataset with CoT annotations for long video reasoning, named LongVideo-Reason. Leveraging a powerful VLM (NVILA-8B) and a leading open-source reasoning LLM, we develop a dataset comprising 52K high-quality Question-Reasoning-Answer pairs for long videos. We use 18K high-quality samples for Long-CoT-SFT to initialize the model's reasoning and instruction-following abilities, and 33K samples with an additional 110K video data for reinforcement learning. This two-stage training combines high-quality reasoning annotations with reinforcement learning, enabling LongVILA-R1 to achieve superior and generalized video reasoning. We also manually curate a balanced set of 1K long-video samples to build a new benchmark, LongVideo-Reason-eval, that evaluates performance from four perspectives: Temporal, Goal and Purpose, Spatial, and Plot and Narrative, for a comprehensive assessment.

+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/NVlabs/Long-RL.git
+cd Long-RL
+pip install -e .
+```
+If you want to train Qwen-Omni models, please
+```bash
+bash vllm_replace.sh
+```
+
+## Training
+### Single node
+For single node (within 8 GPUs), you can refer to the training scripts in the `examples` directory. For example,
+```bash
+bash examples/new_supports/qwen2_5_vl_3b_video_grpo.sh $VIDEO_PATH
+```
+
+### Multi-nodes
+For jobs that requires multi-nodes, you can refer to the ways mentioned in the EasyR1 repo, [here](https://github.com/hiyouga/EasyR1/tree/main?tab=readme-ov-file#how-to-run-70b-model-in-multi-node-environment).
+
+We provide additional examples for `sbatch` scripts like, where `TRAIN_SCRIPT` is the script to train on single node, `NNODES` is the number of nodes required.
+```bash
+bash scripts/srun_multi_nodes.sh $TRAIN_SCRIPT $NNODES
+```
+
+For example, 
+```bash
+bash scripts/srun_multi_nodes.sh examples/new_supports/qwen2_5_vl_3b_video_grpo.sh 2
+```
+
+### Merge Checkpoint in Hugging Face Format
+This follows the ways in the EasyR1 repo.
+```bash
+python3 scripts/model_merger.py --local_dir checkpoints/easy_r1/exp_name/global_step_1/actor
+```
+
+## Evaluation
+We provide the instruction on evaluating models on our `LongVideo-Reason` benchmark in the `eval` [directory](https://github.com/NVlabs/Long-RL/tree/main/eval).
