# VL-Rethinker-72B

**VL-Rethinker-72B** achieves SoTA results on various multimodal reasoning benchmarks.

It is trained using the **Forced Rethinking** technique, on top of [**VL-Reasoner**](https://huggingface.co/TIGER-Lab/VL-Reasoner-72B/) with **GRPO-SSR** training. 

For details of our approach and performance comparison, please see our [paper](https://github.com/TIGER-AI-Lab/VL-Rethinker/blob/main/paper.pdf).

For details of training and evaluation, please see our [code repo](https://github.com/TIGER-AI-Lab/VL-Rethinker/).
