WeAgent-MMSearch introduces a multimodal search agent that preserves retrieved images as persistent references, enabling the model to inspect, process, and cite them throughout a search trajectory. The system includes a harness (WeAgent-Harness), a post‑training method (FA‑GSPO) that recovers salvageable rollouts, and a new benchmark (VisTarget‑Bench) to evaluate image‑retrieval versus visual‑perception failures. Evaluation shows that agentic post‑training boosts performance by 19.22 points, allowing the model to outperform similarly sized open‑source models and compete with much larger ones.

OmniHarness is a framework that enables generalizable visual generation by learning symbolic policies from verified executions. It abstracts shared procedures and applicability conditions, allowing these policies to be instantiated, adapted, and composed for new tasks while keeping model parameters fixed. The system uses intermediate verification for refinement, self-directed inquiry to generate practice tasks, and continuous feedback to expand capabilities, achieving strong results on multiple benchmarks and outperforming baselines on Creative tasks.

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.
