RSIgen: Reciprocal Self-Improvement for Agentic Visual Generation

Agentic visual generation produces experience that can improve the native understanding (agent) and generation roles of a unified multimodal backbone, but task success alone does not determine which role should learn.

Key points

  • Generator updates can also make the agent's action supervision stale.
  • We introduce RSIgen, a task-centric reciprocal self-improvement framework linking learning allocation, supervision refresh, and recursive curriculum construction.
  • After generator learning, RSIgen re-evaluates the relative utility of tested actions with branch inputs held fixed to refresh agent supervision; the retained roles then construct the next curriculum.
  • Across BAGEL, Qwen-Image, and Wan-Image-7B, RSIgen improves AgentGen-Bench Full Overall9 by 3.2--3.3 points over a three-cycle SearchGen adaptation with action costs.
