arXiv:2606. 03937v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While token-level entropy is commonly recognized as effective for credit assignment in text-only reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR), it remains unclear whether this mechanism still holds in visual reasoning.

The paper introduces Activation Replay, a training‑free method that improves reasoning in post‑trained large multimodal models (LMMs) by replaying low‑entropy activations from the base model’s input context. It shows that Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) shifts low‑entropy activations and that modulating these activations enhances reasoning across tasks such as mathematics, visual agents, and video reasoning. Experiments demonstrate that Activation Replay outperforms alternatives like high‑entropy replay or direct cross‑model intervention, boosting Pass@K and broadening RLVR’s reasoning coverage.
