Self-improvement for multimodal large language models (MLLMs) is typically driven by reward-based methods that provide only coarse scalar feedback. Distillation offers a richer alternative through dense token-level supervision, but in the visual domain it usually depends on privileged context constructed using external annotations and tools, or stronger models.
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.
