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:2607. 15686v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present S1-Omni, a unified multimodal reasoning model for scientific understanding, prediction, and generation.
The paper presents a systematic study of scientific image synthesis, comparing pixel‑based generation and programmatic approaches. It introduces ImgCoder, a logic‑driven framework that follows an "understand‑plan‑code" workflow to enhance structural precision, and SciGenBench, a benchmark that evaluates images for information utility and logical validity. The authors find that pixel‑based models exhibit systematic failure modes and that fine‑tuning large multimodal models on rigorously verified synthetic images consistently improves downstream reasoning performance.
SenseNova-U1.5 is an 8B‑MoT native unified multimodal model that can understand, reason about, and generate visual content without using an encoder or VAE. It improves visual fidelity and text rendering through spatially coherent patch reconstruction, large‑scale training on curated generation and editing data, and native resolutions up to 4K. Post‑training, specialized experts for visual aesthetics, bilingual text rendering, infographic generation, and image editing are optimized and distilled into a multi‑expert framework, yielding advances in image fidelity, complex composition, multi‑reference editing, and instruction following.
While Text-to-Image (T2I) models have shown remarkable success in generating photorealistic visual content, they still struggle with the rigorous semantic alignment and logical reasoning required for scientific imagery. Inspired by Peirce's Semiotic Triad, we introduce Scientific Image Reasoning (SciIR), a comprehensive resource for training and evaluation of scientific image generation.

The paper introduces SVGLM, a framework that integrates scalable vector graphics (SVG) primitives into vision‑language models to enable image generation within reasoning tasks. By treating SVG both as image descriptions and text instructions, SVGLM offers a compact and interpretable method for connecting text and image reasoning. The authors provide a curated SVG‑based image editing dataset and demonstrate strong SVG generation and image‑aware reasoning performance on a mathematical benchmark.
