Trace: A Taxonomy-Guided Environment for Multidomain Visual Reasoning
Summary
TRACE is a taxonomy-guided environment with 1,000 visual reasoning tasks across 11 domains. Training Qwen2.5-VL-3B and Qwen2.5-VL-7B on 64,000 TRACE instances improves their macro-average performance across 24 external benchmarks by 3.51 and 4.06 percentage points respectively.

Paper page - Trace: A Taxonomy-Guided Environment for Multidomain Visual Reasoning
Source: https://huggingface.co/papers/2607.19790 We introduce TRACE, a taxonomy-guided environment containing 1,000 deterministic visual-reasoning tasks across 11 domains.
Training Qwen2.5-VL-3B and Qwen2.5-VL-7B on 64,000 TRACE instances improves their macro-average performance across 24 external benchmarks by 3.51 and 4.06 percentage points, respectively.
We release the full research stack, including the task generator, dataset, trained checkpoints, training and evaluation code, and run artifacts.

WILDTRACE: Benchmarking Natural Evidence Trails in Long-Context Reasoning
WildTrace is a benchmark of 481 tasks using naturally occurring evidence trails from long documents like technical reports and narratives. It evaluates 18 frontier systems and shows that even the best (75.3%) struggles with reasoning-intensive geometries such as counterfactual branching and causal attribution.
DocTrace: Towards Traceable Long Document VQA via Hierarchical Evidence Graph Reasoning
The paper introduces DocTrace, a hierarchical framework for long document visual question answering that casts the task as explicit evidence graph reasoning. It achieves state-of-the-art results on three benchmarks while enabling traceable evidence provenance, outperforming Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct by 11-14 points.

TRACE is a new self-improvement approach where an AI agent identifies the missing capabilities behind its own failures and trains itself to address them. TRACE-trained Qwen3.6-27B achieves 73.2% on SWE-bench Verified, outperforming much larger models with fewer training rollouts.
TRACE: Trajectory Reasoning through Adaptive Cross-Step Evidence Aggregation for LLM Agents
TRACE is a monitoring framework for long-horizon LLM agent trajectories that uses a Triage-Inspect-Judge loop to connect evidence across temporally distant actions, achieving high recall and F1 on evasive sabotage detection tasks.
