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.

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.

PreviewDiff is a test‑time search method that uses multimodal critics to guide diffusion model sampling. By decoding partial previews at selected denoising checkpoints, scoring them with a multimodal judge, and branching over semantic prompt edits, it allows the generation process to be edited and rerouted before completion. The approach consistently outperforms budget‑matched Best‑of‑N sampling and scalar‑search baselines on image and video benchmarks, with early interventions and wider search yielding the biggest gains.
