Build video cold-start CoT data in the OMNEX-VL ("Ground What You See") format.
Pipeline (mirrors LLaVA-CoT construction, but for video):
- Source: TemporalBench short_qa (MCQ, clean GT letter). Optional top-up: long_qa.
- Teacher: Qwen2.5-VL-72B-Instruct via vLLM, sees the real video.
- The GT answer is PROVIDED to the teacher (LLaVA-CoT style) so it writes a
plausible 4-stage trace that lands on GT. GT is used only at generation time;
it is NOT part of the stored training prompt.
- Output 4 stages with tags: <prethink> <caption> <think> <answer>.
- Rejection sampling: keep only rows where all four tags parse AND the
extracted <answer> matches GT (case-insensitive letter match).
Output (OMNEX sft.py schema):
data/coldstart_cot_10k.json -> list of {problem, data_type, path, process_and_answer, meta}
also writes incrementally to data/coldstart_cot.raw.jsonl (resume-safe).
Usage:
python scripts/build_coldstart_cot.py --limit 8 # smoke test
python scripts/build_coldstart_cot.py --target 10000 # full run
