We present S1-Omni-Image, an open-weight unified multimodal model for scientific image understanding, generation, and editing. Unlike general-purpose image generation models, scientific image tasks require not only high-fidelity synthesis, but also robust understanding of scientific semantics, structural relations, domain knowledge, and task intent.
arXiv:2608. 08964v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The generation of mathematically precise diagrams from tex- tual prompts has emerged as a critical yet underexplored capability of Large Language Models (LLMs).

arXiv:2607. 19056v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Instruction-based vector editing requires two capabilities: making a requested change and leaving everything else alone.
By Yug Aditi Gupta, Prannay Hebbar
Vision-language models (VLMs) have shown strong capabilities in generating visualization code from textual or visual specifications. However, real-world visualization authoring is inherently iterative: users frequently revise existing visualizations to repair flawed charts or adapt them to desired styles.
arXiv:2606. 01213v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Despite tremendous recent progress, current text-guided image editing methods still struggle with many aspects of editing involving instruction following, minimally editing the source image, and ensuring high visual quality.

arXiv:2606. 00931v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Instruction-guided image editing is becoming a general interface for visual work, yet existing benchmarks still focus largely on narrow appearance edits and do not fully capture the diversity of real-image tasks in professional workflows.
