+## Abstract
+We introduce InternVLA-M1, a unified framework for spatial grounding and robot control that advances instruction-following robots toward scalable, general-purpose intelligence. Its core idea is spatially guided vision-language-action training, where spatial grounding serves as the critical link between instructions and robot actions. InternVLA-M1 employs a two-stage pipeline: (i) spatial grounding pre-training on over 2.3M spatial reasoning data to determine ``where to act'' by aligning instructions with visual, embodiment-agnostic positions, and (ii) spatially guided action post-training to decide ``how to act'' by generating embodiment-aware actions through plug-and-play spatial prompting. This spatially guided training recipe yields consistent gains: InternVLA-M1 outperforms its variant without spatial guidance by +14.6% on SimplerEnv Google Robot, +17% on WidowX, and +4.3% on LIBERO Franka, while demonstrating stronger spatial reasoning capability in box, point, and trace prediction. To further scale instruction following, we built a simulation engine to collect 244K generalizable pick-and-place episodes, enabling a 6.2% average improvement across 200 tasks and 3K+ objects. In real-world clustered pick-and-place, InternVLA-M1 improved by 7.3%, and with synthetic co-training, achieved +20.6% on unseen objects and novel configurations. Moreover, in long-horizon reasoning-intensive scenarios, it surpassed existing works by over 10%. These results highlight spatially guided training as a unifying principle for scalable and resilient generalist robots.
+
+## 🔥 Key Features
+
+1.  **Modular & Extensible**  
+    All core components (model architecture, training data, training strategies, evaluation pipeline) are fully decoupled, enabling independent development, debugging, and extension of each module.
+
+2.  **Dual-System and Dual-Supervision**
+    InternVLA-M1 integrates both a language head and an action head under a unified framework, enabling collaborative training with dual supervision.
+
+3.  **Efficient Training & Fast Convergence**
+    Learns spatial and visual priors from large-scale multimodal pretraining and transfers them via spatial prompt fine-tuning. Achieves strong performance (e.g., SOTA-level convergence on in ~2.5 epochs without separate action pretraining).
+
+## 🎯 Target Audience
+
+1.  Users who want to leverage open-source VLMs (e.g., Qwen2.5-VL) for robot control.
+2.  Teams co-training action datasets jointly with multimodal (vision–language) data.
+3.  Researchers exploring alternative VLA architectures and training strategies.
