The climb

All logged agent runs share one plot. Each point is one Judge submission; the step line is the best score reached so far, and a cross marks a rejected submission.

The task

Find an inference strategy that helps the fixed Molmo2-VideoPoint model locate visual anomalies more accurately in generated videos. The model is not trained or fine-tuned; the experiment changes only how inference is run.

Environment

Reference baseline

Every submission is evaluated on the same reserved videos and receives an absolute soft-F1 score. The shipped strategy provides a common starting point; the Judge does not rerun a separate baseline beside every candidate.

Research loop

  1. Inspect the current strategy and the feedback from earlier submissions.
  2. Change one inference choice for a clear reason, validate it, and submit it.
  3. Compare the aggregate result, then keep, revise, or reject the idea.

What the agent may change

What stays fixed

Evaluation

The Judge reports mean spatiotemporal soft-F1 on the fixed reserved set; higher is better. The agent sees aggregate quality and validity signals after each submission, while per-video targets and predictions remain hidden.

Agent runs

Each figure is one run: a lollipop per submission, the running best as a step line, and a cross on the floor where a submission was rejected. Open the row below each figure for every Judge submission.
