-## Introduction
-
-We introduce *InternVL3.5*, a new family of open-source multimodal models that significantly advances versatility, reasoning capability, and inference efficiency along the InternVL series. A key innovation is the *Cascade Reinforcement Learning (Cascade RL)* framework, which enhances reasoning through a two-stage process: offline RL for stable convergence and online RL for refined alignment. This coarse-to-fine training strategy leads to substantial improvements on downstream reasoning tasks, e.g., MMMU and MathVista. To optimize efficiency, we propose a *Visual Resolution Router (ViR)* that dynamically adjusts the resolution of visual tokens without compromising performance. Coupled with ViR, our Decoupled *Vision-Language Deployment (DvD)* strategy separates the vision encoder and language model across different GPUs, effectively balancing computational load. These contributions collectively enable InternVL3.5 to achieve up to a +16.0\% gain in overall reasoning performance and a 4.05 \\(\times\\) inference speedup compared to its predecessor, i.e., InternVL3. In addition, InternVL3.5 supports novel capabilities such as GUI interaction and embodied agency. Notably, our largest model, i.e.,  InternVL3.5-241B-A28B, attains state-of-the-art results among open-source MLLMs across general multimodal, reasoning, text, and agentic tasks—narrowing the performance gap with leading commercial models like GPT-5. All models and code are publicly released.

+We introduce InternVL 2.5, an advanced multimodal large language model (MLLM) series that builds upon InternVL 2.0, maintaining its core model architecture while introducing significant enhancements in training and testing strategies as well as data quality. In this work, we delve into the relationship between model scaling and performance, systematically exploring the performance trends in vision encoders, language models, dataset sizes, and test-time configurations. Through extensive evaluations on a wide range of benchmarks, including multi-discipline reasoning, document understanding, multi-image / video understanding, real-world comprehension, multimodal hallucination detection, visual grounding, multilingual capabilities, and pure language processing, InternVL 2.5 exhibits competitive performance, rivaling leading commercial models such as GPT-4o and Claude-3.5-Sonnet. Notably, our model is the first open-source MLLMs to surpass 70% on the MMMU benchmark, achieving a 3.7-point improvement through Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning and showcasing strong potential for test-time scaling. We hope this model contributes to the open-source community by setting new standards for developing and applying multimodal AI systems. HuggingFace demo see this https URL

+Compared to InternVL3.5, InternVL3.5-Flash further integrates the *Visual Resolution Router (ViR)*, thus yielding a series of efficient variants friendly suitable for resource-constrained scenarios. 
 Specifically, in InternVL3.5, each image patch is initially represented as 1024 visual tokens for the vision encoder, which are then compressed into 256 tokens via a pixel shuffle module before being passed to the Large Language Model (LLM).
 In InternVL3.5-Flash, as shown in the Figure below, an additional pixel shuffle module with a higher compression rate is included, enabling the compression of visual tokens down to 64 tokens.
 For each patch, the patch router determines the appropriate compression rate by assessing its semantic richness, and routes it to the corresponding pixel shuffle module accordingly.
-Benefiting from this patch-aware compression mechanism, InternVL3.5-Flash is able to reduce the number of visual tokens by 50\% while maintaining nearly 100\% of the performance of InternVL3.5.

 Cascade RL aims to combine the benefits of offline RL and online RL to progressively facilitate the post-training of MLLMs in an efficient manner.
 Specifically, we first fine-tune the model using an offline RL algorithm as an efficient warm-up stage to reach a satisfied results, which can guarantee the high-quality rollouts for the latter stage. 
-Subsequently, we employ an online RL algorithm to further refine the output distribution based on rollouts generated by the model itself.  Compared to the single offline or online RL stage, our cascaded RL achieves significant performance improvements at a fraction of the GPU time cost.

 ### Decoupled Vision-Language Deployment
 
-In multimodal inference, the vision encoder and language model have distinct computational characteristics. The vision encoder that transforms images into semantic features is highly parallelizable and does not rely on long-term history state.  In contrast,  the language model adopts the inference in an autoregressive manner, which requires previous states to compute the next one. This sequential property makes the language part more sensitive to memory bandwidth and latency.
