description: "Enable VLMs to perform generalized visual search—locating relational, fuzzy, and conceptual regions from free-form language descriptions. Introduces O3-Bench benchmark with high-density composite charts/maps, uses RL-trained vSearcher for spatial localization, improving frontier models (GPT-5-mini 39%→61.5%) without architecture changes."

## Overview

InSight-o3 addresses VLM weakness with dense, complex visuals requiring both advanced reasoning and precise visual perception.

## Core Technique

**Generalized Visual Search:**

```python
class VisualSearcher:
    def search_conceptual_regions(self, image, query):
        """Find relational/fuzzy/conceptual regions from free-form language."""
        # e.g., "regions where trend changes" not just object names
        regions = model.predict_regions(image, query)
        return regions
```

**RL-Trained vSearcher:**
Hybrid RL with in-loop feedback (vReasoner) and IoU supervision.

## Performance

- GPT-5-mini: 39.0% → 61.5% on O3-Bench
- Plug-and-play enhancement
