VideoGen-Agent is a multimodal agent that uses multitask agentic reinforcement learning to coordinate external tools for video generation. It learns to augment, generate, and verify videos through multi‑turn interactions, guided by prompts and intermediate observations. On the new VABench benchmark, the agent improves base text‑to‑video performance by 19.1 points, and further upgrades to generation tools raise the score to 86.1, with human raters favoring the upgraded configuration in 84.3% of comparisons.

WorldReward introduces a vision‑language model–based reward system for camera‑conditioned world models, combining action consistency and visual quality evaluation. It processes paired videos by splitting them into action‑aligned chunks, structuring visual evidence, and aggregating decisions through voting. The model is trained on a large, reasoning‑augmented preference dataset and outperforms GPT‑5.5 on a human‑annotated benchmark, improving both action execution and visual quality when applied to RL post‑training.

CoRe introduces a co‑evolving reward framework to mitigate latent reward hacking in video diffusion models. By continuously refitting the latent‑reward model on the generator’s current samples and anchoring it to real‑video preferences, CoRe prevents the generator from drifting outside the reward model’s training support. Experiments on Wan2.1‑T2V‑1.3B demonstrate that CoRe improves generation quality over pretrained models and prior alignment methods while avoiding quality collapse.
