3D-RFT: Reinforcement Fine-Tuning for Video-based 3D Scene Understanding

arXiv:2603.04976v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards ( RLVR ) has emerged as a transformative paradigm for enhancing the reasoning capabilities of Large Language Models ( LLMs), yet its potential in 3D scene understanding remains under-explored. Existing approaches largely rely on Supervised Fine-Tuning ( SFT), where the token-level cross-entropy loss acts as an indirect proxy for optimization, leading to a misalignment between training objectives and task performances. To bridge this gap, we present Reinforcement Fine-Tuning for Video-based

Why this matters
Why now

The development of more sophisticated AI models and the increasing demand for advanced 3D scene understanding in various applications necessitate more effective training paradigms beyond Supervised Fine-Tuning.

Why it’s important

Improving 3D scene understanding via reinforcement fine-tuning can significantly enhance autonomous systems and AI agents operating in complex real-world environments, leading to more robust and reliable applications.

What changes

The optimization of 3D scene understanding models will transition from indirect proxy losses to objective-aligned reinforcement learning, potentially leading to a new standard for training vision models.
