arXiv:2610.18704v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this paper, we propose an extremely efficient, training-free method to extract token-level reward signals directly from an existing deep reward model. Our core idea is to attribute the overall process reward to individual tokens by estimating each token's influence. This influence is defined as the change in the final macroscopic reward (e.g., the process reward) when a token is replaced with a semantically null token. Naively calculating this influence is computationally infeasible, requiring N forward passes through the PRM for an N-token se
