Keye-VL-671B-A37B

Meet Keye-VL-671B-A37B — the most powerful multi-modal language model in the Keye series to date.

As one of the largest and most capable MLLMs currently in existence, Keye-VL-671B-A37B demonstrates top-tier and in some cases even leading performance in text understanding and generation, complex visual perception and reasoning, comprehensive video understanding, and Olympic-level mathematical reasoning.

Key Enhancements:

Pre-Training

• Efficient Perception Building with Limited Compute: We employ VisionEncoder from Keye-VL-1.5 and rigorously processed high-quality data to cost-effectively build the model’s core perceptual capabilities, ensuring strong visual understanding without excessive computational overhead.

• Multi-Modal Data Curation: We implement a automated data pipeline that performs strict filtering, re-sampling, and large-scale synthesis of structured VQA data, including OCR, charts, and tables. This end-to-end process significantly enhances the model’s perception quality and generalization.

• Reasoning Sustainment via Synthetic CoT Data: During the continual pretrain phase, we incorporate a diverse set of synthetically generated chain-of-thought (CoT) data. This ensures the model maintains its complex reasoning skills while progressing in perceptual pre-training.

Post-Training

• Scaling law of Reasoning Data for SFT: We experimentally validate that the mixed data (50B Instruct & Long-CoT data) improves model performance and training stability compared to the single model (30B Instruct data).
• CoT Quality & Style Refinement: We develop a data filtering process to remove redundant reflective chains, improving the model's reasoning and perception capabilities, with the in-house process outperforming GPT-4o.
• High-Precision RL Verifier: We train a dedicated verifier (Keye Verifier) to validate the model's reasoning consistency and answer correctness, achieving significantly higher accuracy than other reward models and general LLMs, thereby enhancing our RL performance gains.
