+## Quick Start
+
+```python
+from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoModelForVision2Seq
+from peft import PeftModel
+from PIL import Image
+import torch
+
+base   = "Qwen/Qwen3-VL-8B-Thinking"
+adapter = "spatialchain/Qwen3-VL-8B-Thinking-SpatialChain"
+
+processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(base, trust_remote_code=True)
+model     = AutoModelForVision2Seq.from_pretrained(
+    base, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, device_map="auto", trust_remote_code=True
+)
+model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(model, adapter)
+model.eval()
+
+image = Image.open("your_image.jpg").convert("RGB")
+
+messages = [
+    {
+        "role": "system",
+        "content": [{"type": "text", "text": (
+            "Your task:\n"
+            "1. Analyze the image carefully.\n"
+            "2. Provide concise reasoning grounded in visible evidence from the image.\n"
+            "3. End your response with 'Answer: <one short sentence>'."
+        )}],
+    },
+    {
+        "role": "user",
+        "content": [
+            {"type": "image", "image": image},
+            {"type": "text",  "text": "Is there a fence to the left of the person?"},
+        ],
+    },
+]
+
+text = processor.apply_chat_template(
+    messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True
+)
+inputs = processor(text=text, images=[image], return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
+
+with torch.inference_mode():
+    ids = model.generate(
+        **inputs,
+        max_new_tokens=512,
+        do_sample=True,
+        temperature=0.6,
+        top_p=0.95,
+        top_k=20,
+    )
+
+print(processor.tokenizer.decode(ids[0, inputs["input_ids"].shape[1]:], skip_special_tokens=True))

+)
+model = AutoModelForVision2Seq.from_pretrained(
+    base, quantization_config=bnb, device_map="auto", trust_remote_code=True
+)
+model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(model, adapter)

+### Dataset
+
+[SpatialChain-Benchmark](https://huggingface.co/datasets/spatialchain/SpatialChain-Benchmark) — 28,350 training examples pairing spatially-oriented GQA questions with scene-graph-grounded reasoning chains. Questions cover 11 spatial relation types (`left_of`, `right_of`, `above`, `behind`, `near`, `inside`, …); chains were generated with Claude Haiku 4.5 (extended thinking) and retained only when the generated answer matched the GQA ground truth.
+
+Each training example target:
+```
+<think>
+Looking at the image, let me trace through this step-by-step:
+(1) Locating the knife — I can see a knife on the left side of the plate.
+(2) Finding the bread to the right of the knife — there is a large piece of bread ...
+(3) Examining what is to the right of that bread — gray birds are standing on the plate.
+(4) Looking for kittens — I do not see any kittens anywhere in the image.
+</think>
+<answer>
+No, there is a bird to the right of the bread.
+</answer>
+```

 ## Evaluation
 
-<!-- This section describes the evaluation protocols and provides the results. -->
-
-### Testing Data, Factors & Metrics
-
-#### Testing Data
-
-<!-- This should link to a Dataset Card if possible. -->
+### SpatialChain test set (n = 899)
 
-[More Information Needed]
+Evaluation uses two complementary axes. **Axis 1** measures VQA accuracy (exact match after normalisation). **Axis 2** uses a scene-graph-aware LLM judge scoring reasoning faithfulness and completeness independently of the final answer — see the [evaluation code](https://huggingface.co/datasets/spatialchain/SpatialChain-Benchmark) for the full judge protocol.
 
-#### Factors
+| Metric | Base (8B) | **This model (8B FT)** |
+|--------|-----------|------------------------|
+| VQA Accuracy | 78.44% | **82.23%** |
+| Macro F1 | 82.01% | **86.67%** |
+| Yes-accuracy | 77.74% | 91.34% |
+| No-accuracy | 79.64% | 66.57% |
+| ROUGE-1 vs. reference chain | 0.403 | **0.657** |
+| Token F1 vs. reference chain | 0.392 | **0.646** |
+| Reasoning faithfulness (judge) | 0.585 | **0.631** |
+| Reasoning completeness (judge) | 0.658 | **0.708** |
+| Pass rate | 77.6% | **80.2%** |
+| Shortcut rate ↓ | 26.4% | **19.4%** |
 
-<!-- These are the things the evaluation is disaggregating by, e.g., subpopulations or domains. -->
+**Shortcut rate** = fraction of *correct* answers where the judge scores reasoning faithfulness < 0.5. Lower is better.
 
-[More Information Needed]
+## Intended Use
 
-#### Metrics
+- **Spatial VQA** — binary yes/no questions about object positions and relations in images
+- **Reasoning audit** — producing interpretable spatial chains that can be verified against scene structure
+- **Research** — studying the relationship between chain-of-thought quality and answer correctness in VLMs
 
-<!-- These are the evaluation metrics being used, ideally with a description of why. -->
+## Out-of-Scope Use
 
-[More Information Needed]
+- Tasks requiring metric depth or 3D reasoning (scene graphs are symbolic, not metric)
+- Open-ended image captioning or generation
+- Non-English inputs
 
-### Results
-
-[More Information Needed]
-
-#### Summary
+## Bias and Limitations
 
+- **Yes-bias** — the fine-tuned model exhibits a larger yes/no accuracy gap (+24.8 pp) than the base model (+1.9 pp), consistent with the 58% yes-rate in training data. Evaluation should report Yes-acc and No-acc separately.
+- **Stylistic specialisation** — the model adopts a fixed reasoning format ("Looking at the image, let me trace through this step-by-step…") on all inputs, which may degrade performance on benchmarks with different prompt styles.
+- **GQA domain** — training images are sourced from GQA (Visual Genome); performance on non-natural-image domains is unknown.
+- **Projective bias** — 62.7% of training examples involve `left_of` / `right_of` relations; depth-ordered relations (`close`, `far`) are underrepresented.
