+# CLEAR: Unlocking Generative Potential for Degraded Image Understanding
+
+CLEAR is a unified multimodal model that leverages generative capabilities (image restoration) to improve visual understanding of degraded images. It introduces an **interleaved reasoning** paradigm where the model adaptively decides whether to invoke image restoration before answering.
