Error when running evaluation script: Cannot copy out of meta tensor

When running the evaluation script for the BAGEL model, I encountered the following error:

```
NotImplementedError: Cannot copy out of meta tensor; no data!
```

Steps to reproduce:
1. Set up environment variables (OPENAI_API_KEY, GPUS, ARNOLD_* variables, etc.)
2. Run the evaluation script:

```bash
bash scripts/eval/eval_vlm.sh \
$BASE_RESUME_DIR \
$MODEL_NAME \
$OUTPUT_DIR \
--model-path $model_path
```

Full error trace:
```

Environment:
- Python version: 3.10
- CUDA version: [Please specify if known]
- BAGEL version: [Please specify if known]

Any help in resolving this issue would be appreciated. Thank you!

Start by reproducing the failure with scripts/eval/eval_vlm.sh and the reported environment variables. Read eval/vlm/eval/mme/eval.py at model loading and eval/vlm/utils.py line 69, where model.cuda().eval() fails. Done means the BAGEL evaluation model loads onto CUDA and proceeds without the meta-tensor error.
