The paper investigates general‑purpose coding agents that generate images by writing and executing programs, contrasting them with conventional generative models. On the AgentDrawBench benchmark, these agents excel at preserving structure and meeting precise visual constraints, achieving competitive performance in tasks where compositional accuracy outweighs photorealism, though they fall short in perceptual richness. The study further shows that the agents’ visual code can serve as an external language of thought, retaining substantial information for visual question answering and suggesting an internal, compositionally structured representation that guides visual operations across different drawing interfaces.

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.
