While text-to-image (T2I) models have achieved remarkable progress, they struggle with real-world requests that are often underspecified, implicit, or dependent on up-to-date knowledge. We identify this challenge as the Context Gap: the mismatch between the user context and the sufficient generation context for T2I models.

Recent advances in multimodal generative models have enabled instruction-based image generation to move beyond semantic manipulation to knowledge-driven visual reasoning. However, these methods focus on explicit commonsense reasoning, shallow causal understanding, and direct knowledge recall, failing at knowledge-intensive generation.
Recent image generators have demonstrated impressive photorealism and instruction-following capabilities in single-image generation and editing. However, constrained by their architectures, they cannot achieve interleaved generation (text-image sequence), which has crucial applications in visual narratives, guidance, and embodied manipulation.
