+🌟 **ARES** — Adaptive Multimodal Reasoning Framework  
+Two-stage adaptive reasoning: cold-start + entropy-shaped RL.  
+
+🔑 Highlights  
+Balanced reasoning across easy & hard tasks via token-level entropy shaping.  
+SOTA efficiency–accuracy tradeoffs on diverse multimodal and textual benchmarks.  
+
+📚 Training Pipeline  
+1. **Adaptive Cold-Start** — curate difficulty-aware reasoning traces  
+2. **Entropy-Shaped RL (AEPO)** — trigger exploration via high-window entropy, hierarchical rewards
