OneSearch‑VL is a unified multimodal deep research agent that handles single‑image, multi‑image, and video tasks by leveraging a Visually Grounded Evidence Graph (VGEG) to encode dependencies among visual anchors, entity relations, facts, and answer‑producing operations. The VGEG‑based data engine builds and verifies questions, filters expert trajectories, and supports supervised fine‑tuning (SFT) and reinforcement learning (RL) with the Evidence‑aware Visual‑Grounded Rubric reward (EVGR). Experiments demonstrate that OneSearch‑VL‑8B outperforms Qwen3‑VL‑8B with tool access by 20.2 and 17.6 percentage points on new multimodal benchmarks, while also achieving significant gains across seven image benchmarks and VideoDR.

The paper introduces RS-OPSD, a reliable privileged on-policy self-distillation framework designed for ultra‑high‑resolution remote sensing visual question answering. It leverages a new dataset, GeoEvidence‑6K, and a human‑feedback guided skill refinement process to provide explicit question‑relevant evidence. By incorporating context‑preserving visual privilege and correctness‑aligned distillation, RS‑OPSD achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on several benchmarks without requiring additional visual search or tool calls at inference time.

High-resolution visual question answering often fails because a multimodal model does not acquire the small, spatially localized evidence needed to answer a question. Sequential zooming can recover de...
