MentalThink: Shaping Thoughts in Mental SVG World
Kangheng Lin, Jisheng Yin, Dingming Li +11
We introduce MentalThink, a visual-symbolic reasoning paradigm that equips Multimodal LLMs (MLLMs) with an executable mechanism for "mental" visualization. The core of MentalThink…
STEP3-VL-10B Technical Report
Ailin Huang, Chengyuan Yao, Chunrui Han +90
We present STEP3-VL-10B, a lightweight open-source foundation model designed to redefine the trade-off between compact efficiency and frontier-level multimodal intelligence. STEP3-…
Open Vision Reasoner: Transferring Linguistic Cognitive Behavior for Visual Reasoning
Yana Wei, Liang Zhao, Jianjian Sun +15
The remarkable reasoning capability of large language models (LLMs) stems from cognitive behaviors that emerge through reinforcement with verifiable rewards. This work investigates…
Step-3 is Large yet Affordable: Model-system Co-design for Cost-effective Decoding
StepFun, :, Bin Wang +195
Large language models (LLMs) face low hardware efficiency during decoding, especially for long-context reasoning tasks. This paper introduces Step-3, a 321B-parameter VLM with hard…
Perception-R1: Pioneering Perception Policy with Reinforcement Learning
En Yu, Kangheng Lin, Liang Zhao +11
Inspired by the success of DeepSeek-R1, we explore the potential of rule-based reinforcement learning (RL) in MLLM post-training for perception policy learning. While promising, ou…
