DeepEyesV2: Toward Agentic Multimodal Model

Agentic multimodal models should not only comprehend text and images, but also actively invoke external tools, such as code execution environments and web search, and integrate these operations into reasoning. In this work, we introduce DeepEyesV2 and explore how to build an agentic multimodal model from the perspectives of data construction, training methods, and model evaluation. We observe that direct reinforcement learning alone fails to induce robust tool-use behavior. This phenomenon motivates a two-stage training pipeline: a cold-start stage to establish tool-use patterns, and reinforcement learning stage to further refine tool invocation. We curate a diverse, moderately challenging training dataset, specifically including examples where tool use is beneficial. We validate DeepEyesV2 across real-world understanding, mathematical reasoning, and search-intensive benchmarks, demonstrating that systematic tool integration enables reliable and extensible multimodal reasoning behaviour. Moreover, DeepEyesV2 exhibits task-adaptive tool invocation, tending to use image operations for perception tasks and numerical computations for reasoning tasks. Reinforcement learning further enable complex tool combinations and allowing model to selectively invoke tools based on problem context. We hope our study can provide guidance for community in developing agentic multimodal models.
