GeoLaux is a new benchmark of 2186 long-step geometry problems requiring auxiliary lines, used to evaluate 23 MLLMs and reveal major drops in performance on complex tasks.
UniR is a composable reasoning module trained with verifiable rewards and added to frozen LLMs via logit summation, enabling modular composition and weak-to-strong generalization across tasks and model sizes.
PRIMETIME generator reveals that LLM datetime parsing and arithmetic primitives are individually unreliable but fully learnable via fine-tuning, enabling frontier-level accuracy on event planning with small LoRA models.
WE-MATH benchmark reveals most LMMs rely on rote memorization for visual math while GPT-4o has shifted toward knowledge generalization.
MathVerse is a benchmark that tests multi-modal LLMs on visual math by providing each problem in six versions with progressively less diagram and text information to measure true visual understanding.
VEPA adds an intermediate sufficiency-driven RL stage with GRPO to strengthen visual evidence grounding in MLLMs, yielding gains on visually demanding benchmarks that transfer beyond task-specific training.
SAPO introduces segment-level policy optimization using a step-wise MDP abstraction to better align RL updates with reasoning structure in multi-modal LLM tasks.
OMIBench benchmark reveals that current LVLMs achieve at most 50% on Olympiad problems requiring reasoning across multiple images.
Hallucinations in multimodal reasoners cluster at high-entropy pivot tokens due to intermediate-layer visual anchoring failure, and V-STAR mitigates this with attention rewards plus forced reflection.
MapTab introduces a 328-map, 196,800-query benchmark showing that current multimodal LLMs fall far short on multi-criteria route planning from maps-plus-tables.
Thinking with Drafting reconceptualizes visual reasoning as optical decompression by forcing models to draft mental models into executable DSL code for deterministic self-verification on the VisAlg benchmark.
SPHINX generates synthetic visual puzzles for benchmarking LVLMs, where GPT-5 scores 51.1% and RLVR training improves both in-domain and external visual reasoning performance.
Activation Replay boosts multimodal reasoning in post-trained LMMs by replaying low-entropy activations from base models to RLVR counterparts at test time via visual token manipulation.
ViSurf unifies SFT and RLVR for LVLMs in one training stage by injecting ground-truth labels into rollouts and applying novel reward controls, outperforming standalone and two-stage baselines on diverse benchmarks.
InternVL3-78B sets a new open-source SOTA of 72.2 on MMMU via native joint multimodal pre-training, V2PE, MPO, and test-time scaling while remaining competitive with proprietary models.
InternVL 2.5 is the first open-source MLLM to surpass 70% on the MMMU benchmark via model, data, and test-time scaling, with a 3.7-point gain from chain-of-thought reasoning.
Mixed Preference Optimization with the MMPR dataset boosts multimodal CoT reasoning, lifting InternVL2-8B to 67.0 accuracy on MathVista (+8.7 points) and matching the 76B model.
AI for mathematics is best described as a supervision ladder — final answers, programs, process rewards, proof-assistant kernels — culminating in verified-discovery workflows.
A neuro-symbolic engine generates GeoSym127K, a 127K-question dataset with symbolic ground truths and verified CoT pairs, yielding +22.21% gains on MathVerse Vision-Only after SFT on Qwen3-VL-8B.
InternVL 1.5 narrows the performance gap to proprietary multimodal models via a stronger transferable vision encoder, dynamic high-resolution tiling, and curated English-Chinese training data.
Position paper claims multimodal LLMs can significantly advance scientific reasoning and proposes a four-stage roadmap plus challenges and suggestions.
