1. Model Introduction

Skywork-R1V3-38B is the latest and most powerful open-source multimodal reasoning model in the Skywork-R1V series. Built on InternVL-38B, it significantly pushes the boundaries of multimodal and cross-disciplinary intelligence. Mainly through RL algorithm in post-training, R1V3 boasts enhanced reasoning ability, achieving open-source state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance across numerous multimodal reasoning benchmarks.

2. Technical Highlights

Skywork-R1V3 is an advanced, open-source Vision-Language Model (VLM) built on several core innovations:

• Refined Post-Training RL: Instead of relying on reasoning pre-training, our fine-grained cold-start finetuning effectively primes the model for Reinforcement Learning (RL), which dramatically enhances its reasoning ability.

• Essential Connector Module: We've uncovered the critical role of the connector module in achieving robust cross-modal alignment for strong multimodal reasoning. What's more, Connector-only Finetuning can further boost the model's performance post-RL.

• Entropy of Critical Reasoning Tokens: This unique indicator effectively gauges reasoning capability, guiding checkpoint selection during RL training.

These innovations lead to Broad Reasoning Generalization, allowing our RL-powered approach to successfully extend mathematical reasoning to diverse subject areas. Additionally, our work delves into RL-specific explorations like curriculum learning and learning rate strategies, alongside a broader discussion on multimodal reasoning. For more details, refer to our [📖 R1V3 Report] .
