用对比推理提升工业缺陷检测，实现更精准的异常识别。

Industrial anomaly detection is a critical component of modern manufacturing. Most traditional unsupervised methods rely on modelling normal feature distributions, inherently limiting generalization to unknown categories. To improve generalizability, some recent methods incorporate vision-language models (VLMs) for zero-shot detection via text prompts. However, we observe that reasoning-oriented post-training can cause anomaly discrimination to collapse, with some fine-tuned models performing worse than their base VLMs. Existing methods also provide only textual decisions or coarse boxes, without pixel-level segmentation. A more explicit detection principle comes from human inspection: anomalies are identified by comparing a query image with a defect-free reference. Inspired by this, we propose InspectorGPT, a VLM framework centered on comparative reasoning. Given a normal reference and a query image, InspectorGPT compares them to identify discrepancies and perform multiple inspection tasks with detailed reasoning. We internalize this capability through Chain-of-Thought (CoT) fine-tuning and Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) with tailored, verifiable rewards. We further introduce InspectorGPT-Seg for pixel-level anomaly masks. Segmentation supervision improves anomaly discrimination but weakens semantic reasoning, while joint training fails to balance them. We therefore train the two branches separately and combine them through task-vector fusion. Extensive experiments demonstrate superior multi-dimensional performance and generalization to unseen benchmarks, validating comparative reasoning for comprehensive industrial inspection.
