+# ProcVLM-2B
+
+ProcVLM-2B is a procedure-grounded vision-language model for estimating progress rewards from robot manipulation observations. Given a task description and a recent window of video frames, the model reasons about the remaining atomic actions and predicts the current task completion percentage in a `<progress>...</progress>` tag.

+## Model Details
+
+- **Model name:** `ce-amtic/ProcVLM-2B`
+- **Model type:** Vision-language model for robot progress reward inference
+- **Architecture:** Qwen3-VL-style multimodal causal language model
+- **Input:** One or more RGB images sampled from a robot trajectory, plus a natural-language task description
+- **Output:** Textual reasoning and a completion estimate formatted as `<progress>XX%</progress>`
+- **Primary use case:** Frame-wise progress reward prediction for robotic manipulation videos
+
+## Intended Use
+
+ProcVLM-2B is designed for research on robot learning, progress reward modeling, embodied evaluation, and procedure-aware video understanding. Typical use cases include:
+
+- estimating task completion progress from robot videos;
+- producing dense progress rewards from sparse demonstrations;
+- visualizing progress over time for manipulation rollouts;
+- adapting progress prediction to a new environment with one-shot LoRA fine-tuning.
+
+This model is not intended to be used as a safety-critical controller without downstream validation.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+Clone the ProcVLM repository and install the environment:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/ProcVLM/ProcVLM.git
+cd ProcVLM
+
+uv sync --python 3.10
+source .venv/bin/activate
+uv pip install flash-attn --no-build-isolation
+```
+
+Run progress reward inference on a video:
+
+```bash
+python evqa/inference.py \
+    --model_path ce-amtic/ProcVLM-2B \
+    --video_path path/to/your/video.mp4 \
+    --output_path path/to/progress_predictions.jsonl \
+    --task "fold the red T-shirt" \
+    --window_size 8
+```
+
+Each JSONL row contains a sampled `frame_index` and its corresponding `progress` prediction.
+
+You can also visualize predictions as a video:
+
+```bash
+python evqa/eval/visualize_progress_video.py \
+    --model_path ce-amtic/ProcVLM-2B \
+    --video_path path/to/your/video.mp4 \
+    --output_path path/to/progress_visualization.mp4 \
+    --task "fold the red T-shirt" \
+    --window_size 8
+```
+
+## Python API
+
+The same inference workflow is available through `infer_progress_from_video()`:
+
+```python
+from evqa.inference import infer_progress_from_video
+
+records = infer_progress_from_video(
+    model_path="ce-amtic/ProcVLM-2B",
+    video_path="path/to/your/video.mp4",
+    task="fold the red T-shirt",
+    window_size=8,
+)
+
+for item in records:
+    print(item["frame_index"], item["progress"])
+```
+
+The returned records include:
+
+- `frame_index`: source video frame index;
+- `timestamp_sec`: source video timestamp;
+- `window_frame_indices`: frame indices used as the model input window;
+- `progress`: parsed progress value in `[0, 100]`;
+- `reasoning`: model reasoning with the progress tag removed;
+- `model_output`: raw model output.
+
+## Prompt Format
+
+ProcVLM uses a procedural progress prompt. The default template is:
+
+```text
+Given the recent observation and the task "{task}", first infer the remaining atomic actions required to complete the task. Then estimate the current completion percentage and output it as a float wrapped by <progress> tags.
+```
+
+The model should answer with reasoning and a final progress tag, for example:
+
+```text
+The drawer is already open and the bread is close to the drawer. The remaining action is to place the bread inside the drawer.
+Therefore, the estimated progress is <progress>62.5%</progress>.
+```
+
+## vLLM Batch Inference
+
+For high-throughput multi-image inference, the ProcVLM repository provides `evqa.model.batch_chat_with_vllm()`:
+
+```python
+from evqa.model import batch_chat_with_vllm
+
+outputs = batch_chat_with_vllm(
+    batch_items=[
+        {
+            "image": [
+                "frames/frame_000000.jpg",
+                "frames/frame_000010.jpg",
+                "frames/frame_000020.jpg",
+            ],
+            "conversations": [
+                {
+                    "from": "human",
+                    "value": 'Given the recent observation and the task "fold the red T-shirt", first infer the remaining atomic actions required to complete the task. Then estimate the current completion percentage and output it as a float wrapped by <progress> tags.',
+                }
+            ],
+        }
+    ],
+    model_path="ce-amtic/ProcVLM-2B",
+    max_new_tokens=1024,
+    temperature=0.0,
+    tp=1,
+)
+```
+
+## One-Shot LoRA Adaptation
+
+ProcVLM can be adapted to a new environment with one successful task demonstration, plus optional additional successful or unsuccessful demonstrations. See the [one-shot adaptation guide](https://github.com/ProcVLM/ProcVLM/blob/main/evqa/docs/oneshot_adaptation.md) for:
+
+- annotating coarse sub-task stages with the visual UI;
+- generating a LoRA fine-tuning dataset;
+- running `evqa/one-shot/lora_oneshot.sh`;
+- using the saved LoRA checkpoint with `evqa/inference.py --use_lora`.
+
+## Limitations
+
+- The model estimates progress from visual observations and task text; it may be unreliable under strong domain shift, severe occlusion, unusual camera viewpoints, or ambiguous task descriptions.
+- The progress output is a learned estimate, not a calibrated physical measurement.
+- For long-horizon videos, inference quality depends on the sampled frame window and the task description.
+- The model should be validated in the target robot environment before being used as a reward signal for training or deployment.
