> **SfMs and VLMs performance on CameraBench**: Generative VLMs (evaluated with [VQAScore](https://linzhiqiu.github.io/papers/vqascore/)) trail classical SfM/SLAM in pure geometry, yet they outperform discriminative VLMs that rely on CLIPScore/ITMScore and—even better—capture scene‑aware semantic cues missed by SfM
> After simple supervised fine‑tuning (SFT) on ≈1,400 extra annotated clips, our 7B Qwen2.5‑VL doubles its AP, outperforming the current best MegaSAM.

## 📰 News
