WeAgent-MMGenEdit: A Full-Stack Recipe for Multimodal Agentic Image Generation and Editing

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.

WeAgent-MMSearch: Native Text-Vision Interaction for Multimodal Search Agents

WeAgent-MMSearch introduces a multimodal search agent that preserves retrieved images as persistent references, enabling the model to inspect, process, and cite them throughout a search trajectory. The system includes a harness (WeAgent-Harness), a post‑training method (FA‑GSPO) that recovers salvageable rollouts, and a new benchmark (VisTarget‑Bench) to evaluate image‑retrieval versus visual‑perception failures. Evaluation shows that agentic post‑training boosts performance by 19.22 points, allowing the model to outperform similarly sized open‑source models and compete with much larger ones.

A Survey on Foundations and Frontiers of Multimodal Agentic Frameworks: Techniques and Applications

The paper surveys how large multimodal models (LMMs) enhance agentic frameworks that combine perception, memory, reasoning, planning, and action. It examines the integration of multiple modalities—text, images, audio, and video—through delegated, late‑fusion, and early‑fusion architectures, and maps these designs to agent capabilities. The survey also reviews multimodal agentic systems in robotics, web navigation, multimedia content creation, and video understanding, evaluating performance, efficiency, and scalability trade‑offs.

ReMem: Rethinking Perception and Memory in Long-Context Recommendation Agents

ReMem is a new recommendation agent framework that rethinks perception and memory for long-context recommendation tasks. It replaces raw HTML parsing with OCR-based multimodal perception from screenshots, extracting structured information in a platform-agnostic way. The framework also introduces a chunk-wise sequential memory update strategy and a multi-memory GRPO variant to efficiently model evolving user preferences over arbitrarily long interaction histories, achieving a 5.16% average improvement over state-of-the-art baselines on three recommendation agent tasks.

Vision as Unified Multimodal Generation

We formulate computer vision as unified multimodal generation, where heterogeneous visual tasks are expressed in the native text and image generation spaces of a unified multimodal model, without task-specific architectures. Under this formulation, SenseNova-Vision uses natural-language instructions and optional visual prompts to specify tasks, target regions or views, and decoding conventions, and generates responses as text for symbolic outputs, images for dense spatial predictions, or mixed text-and-image outputs for compositional tasks.
