Odyseus - Spatial VLM : Projecting 2D reasoning into 3D outputs (open source repo)

Reddit r/ArtificialInteligence Tools

Summary

Odyseus is an open-source Spatial VLM tool that combines Qwen with Depth Anything to project 2D visual reasoning into actionable 3D coordinates for robotics and physical AI applications.

So I've always argued that Physical AI for robotics need actionable outputs like 3D coordinates, not bullet points or nice paragraphs. So decided to experiment by combining a VLM with Monocular Depth Estimation, essentially projecting 2D reasoning into 3D, I called it Odyseus - Spatial VLM Tech Stack: \- VLM: Qwen 3.6 \- Depth Estimation: Depth Anything 3 - Metric Large Worked pretty well, figured to share, check repo: [https://github.com/MercuriusTech/Odyseus-Spatial-VLM](https://github.com/MercuriusTech/Odyseus-Spatial-VLM)

SpatialAct: Probing Spatial Reasoning-to-Action Capabilities of VLM Agents in 3D Scenes

Hugging Face Daily Papers

SpatialAct is a new simulator-grounded benchmark that probes whether VLM agents can perform coherent spatial reasoning and translate it into actions in 3D environments across multi-turn feedback settings. Experiments reveal a significant reasoning-to-action gap, with current VLMs struggling to maintain spatial beliefs and produce reliable actions despite performing well on isolated reasoning tasks.
