What is Skywork-R1V 2.0
Skywork-R1V 2.0 is the latest open-source multimodal reasoning model from Kunlun Wanwei, designed specifically for complex reasoning tasks, with powerful visual and textual reasoning capabilities. The model achieves a balance between reasoning ability and generalization ability based on hybrid reinforcement learning and a multimodal reward model (Skywork-VL Reward), and introduces a Selective Sample Buffer (SSB) mechanism to solve the "advantage vanishing" problem. It performs excellently on authoritative benchmarks such as AIME2024 and OlympiadBench, with performance approaching or even surpassing some closed-source models. The model weights and code have been fully open-sourced, promoting the construction of the multimodal ecosystem and supporting fields such as education and scientific research.

Technical Principles of Skywork-R1V 2.0
- Hybrid Reinforcement Learning: Combines a multimodal reward model (Skywork-VL Reward) and rule-driven feedback to provide high-quality reward signals, balancing reasoning ability and generalization ability. It uses a Selective Sample Buffer (SSB) mechanism to solve the "advantage vanishing" problem in reinforcement learning and improve training efficiency.
- Adopts Hybrid Preference Optimization (MPO), combining preference signals and rule feedback to improve the model's reasoning ability and format compliance.
- Multimodal Fusion: Based on a lightweight MLP adapter, it connects a vision encoder (InternViT-6B) and a language model (such as QwQ-32B), reducing dependence on large-scale multimodal data. It directly combines a pretrained language model with a visual adapter, preserving reasoning ability while improving visual understanding ability.
- Modular Reorganization: The modular design allows the visual and language modules to be optimized independently while maintaining efficient cross-modal alignment. Based on different combinations of training the vision encoder, adapter, and language model, it improves the model's overall performance.
- Training Strategy：
- Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO): Guides the model to optimize based on relative reward comparisons among candidate responses within a group.
- Multiple Loss Functions of MPO: Includes quality loss (BCO), generation loss (SFT), etc., improving the model's stability and generalization ability.
