Skywork-R1V4

1. Model Introduction

Skywork-R1V4 is a 30B (A3B) multimodal agent that unifies:

• Multimodal task planning
• Active image manipulation (“thinking with images”)
• Deep multimodal search (text × image)
• Interleaved tool-grounded reasoning

Skywork-R1V4 is trained purely via supervised finetuning on < 30k high-quality, execution-consistent trajectories.

At inference time, the model exhibits emergent long-horizon reasoning, executing 10+ tool calls across visual operations and web search to solve complex real-world tasks.

Skywork-R1V4 achieves state-of-the-art performance on multimodal search benchmarks:

• MMSearch: 66.1
• FVQA: 67.2
• Beats Gemini 2.5 Flash on all 11 comparable metrics

2. Feature

🔍 “Thinking With Images”

Skywork-R1V4 actively manipulates images through:

    • Multi-stage cropping
    • Local detail extraction
    • Region attention
    • Visual clue refinement

🔄 Interleaved Reasoning

The model alternates between:

    1. Visual reasoning
    2. Image operation
    3. Web search
    4. Cross-evidence verification
