WeAgent-MMGenEdit is a comprehensive framework for multimodal agentic image generation and editing that addresses the unreliability of current models when prompts require external world knowledge. It introduces a multimodal harness with persistent evidence management, a scalable data construction pipeline producing 23K supervised trajectories and 14.7K RL tasks, and a bilingual benchmark (WeBench-MMGenEdit) for knowledge-intensive generation and multi-image editing. Post‑training methods based on SFT and RL further refine the agent policy and image backend, enabling a 30B‑parameter policy to outperform similarly sized models and approach the performance of a 1T‑parameter agent.

Recent breakthroughs in instruction-based image editing have captured significant attention, as models are now capable of handling real-world editing demands with the practicality required by everyday users. However, editing models trained primarily for single-turn edits often break down in multi-turn editing--the natural interactive setting where a user iteratively refines an image based on the model's own previous outputs.
Recent advances in unified multimodal models have significantly improved text-guided image editing abilities. In particular, models such as Nano-Banana-Pro and GPT-Image-2 demonstrate emerging capabilities in multi-source image editing (MIE), including tasks such as object synthesis, person-background composition, and cross-image style fusion.

The paper introduces RISEBench and its expanded version RISEBench++, a benchmark for evaluating reasoning-informed visual editing (RISE). RISEBench++ categorizes tasks into six reasoning dimensions—Temporal, Causal, Spatial, Logical, Counterfactual, and Hybrid—decomposed into 12 subcategories and 65 fine-grained task types, and includes 1,000 human‑annotated test cases in English and Chinese. The authors also present RISE‑Agent, a training‑free framework that integrates reasoning‑driven planning, tool‑augmented execution, and verifier‑guided refinement, outperforming most existing approaches on diverse RISE tasks.

VibeEdit is a new image‑editing tool that lets users draw spatial marks and add brief notes directly on an image to create a canvas instruction. These instructions guide the model to perform tasks such as adding, removing, replacing, or moving objects, as well as modifying attributes, without needing a separate text prompt. The system is trained on 1.55 million annotated edit pairs and uses a layer‑decoupled conditioning approach, achieving higher VLM rubric scores and PSNR on a benchmark that tests target selection among similar objects.

MTEdit is a new multi‑turn image editing dataset that uses packed trajectory canvas (PTC) generation to create 500K editing trajectories, each up to eight turns with an average of 5.38 turns. The dataset addresses visual‑quality drift by jointly generating multiple editing states within a unified visual context, covering both step‑wise and context‑aware editing scenarios. MTEdit-Bench evaluates models on instruction following, content consistency, visual‑quality drift resistance, and historical context usage, and fine‑tuned Qwen‑Image‑MTEdit outperforms other open‑source models on this benchmark.
