VTOS (Vision Tools Orchestration Search) is a framework that adaptively orchestrates vision foundation tools—such as open‑vocabulary detectors, segmentation models, and post‑processing operators—by jointly searching for executable solution programs and observer programs that diagnose failures and provide feedback. The observer programs feed observations into a shared VisionThoughts knowledge base, guiding subsequent searches. In two case studies—dense object counting on LVIS‑Count and zero‑shot plant‑disease segmentation on PlantSeg‑OOD—VTOS outperforms static tool pipelines and agentic visual‑programming baselines, especially in complex scenarios like dense, occluded scenes and out‑of‑distribution segmentation.

arXiv:2601. 22108v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Continued pretraining is optimized with fixed self-supervised tasks but selected by downstream performance, creating a coarse feedback loop in which practitioners evaluate checkpoints, change data mixtures or objectives, and restart runs, while individual updates remain blind to target capabilities.
