MAGNIFIED: RL Fine-tuning of Multimodal Large Language Models for Motion Planning (opens in new tab)

Multi-modal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in semantic understanding and common sense reasoning, making them promising candidates for solving planning problems in autonomous driving. However, the next-token text prediction objectives traditionally used in pre-training and supervised fine-tuning (SFT) of MLLMs may fall short of fulfilling the planning objectives for autonomous vehicles. The next-token pr...
