Recent progress in text-to-image generation has greatly advanced visual fidelity and creativity, but it has also imposed higher demands on prompt complexity--particularly in encoding intricate spatial relationships. In such cases, achieving satisfactory results often requires multiple sampling attempts.To address this challenge, we introduce a novel method that strengthens the spatial understanding of current image generation models. We first construct the SpatialReward-Dataset with over 80k preference pairs. Building on this dataset, we build SpatialScore, a reward model designed to evaluate the accuracy of spatial relationships in text-to-image generation, achieving performance that even surpasses leading proprietary models on spatial evaluation.We further demonstrate that this reward model effectively enables online reinforcement learning for the complex spatial generation. Extensive experiments across multiple benchmarks show that our specialized reward model yields significant and consistent gains in spatial understanding for image generation. All models and datasets will be released.

Recent research in long-form video generation has shifted from bidirectional to autoregressive models, yet these methods commonly suffer from error accumulation and a loss of long-term coherence. While attention sink frames have been introduced to mitigate this performance decay, they often induce a critical failure mode we term sink-collapse: the generated content repeatedly reverts to the sink frame, resulting in abrupt scene resets and cyclic motion patterns. Our analysis reveals that sink-collapse originates from an inherent conflict between the periodic structure of Rotary Position Embedding (RoPE) and the multi-head attention mechanisms prevalent in current generative models. To address it, we propose a lightweight, training-free approach that effectively suppresses this behavior by introducing multi-head RoPE jitter that breaks inter-head attention homogenization and mitigates long-horizon collapse. Extensive experiments show that our method successfully alleviates sink-collapse while preserving generation quality. To the best of our knowledge, this work achieves the first demonstration of real-time, streaming, and infinite-length video generation with little quality decay. As an illustration of this robustness, we generate continuous videos up to 12 hours in length, which, to our knowledge, is among the longest publicly demonstrated results in streaming video generation.

This paper focuses on the alignment of flow-matching models with human preference. A promising way is fine-tuning by directly backpropagating reward signals through the differentiable generation process of flow matching. However, backpropagating through long trajectories results in prohibitive memory costs and gradient explosion. Therefore, direct-gradient methods struggle to update early generation steps, which are crucial for determining the global structure of the final image. To address this issue, we introduce LeapAlign, a fine-tuning method that reduces computational cost and enables direct gradient propagation from reward to early generation steps. Specifically, we shorten the long trajectory into only two steps by designing two consecutive leaps, each skipping multiple ODE sampling steps and predicting future latents in a single step. By randomizing the start and end timesteps of the leaps, LeapAlign leads to efficient and stable model updates at any generation step. To better use such shortened trajectories, we assign higher training weights to those that are more consistent with the long generation path. To further enhance gradient stability, we reduce the weights of gradient terms with large magnitude, instead of completely removing them as done in previous works. When fine-tuning the Flux model, LeapAlign consistently outperforms state-of-the-art GRPO-based and direct-gradient methods across various metrics, achieving superior image quality and image-text alignment.

Directly modeling the explicit likelihood of the raw data distribution is a key topic in the machine learning area, which achieves the scaling success in Large Language Models by autoregressive modeling. However, continuous AR modeling over visual pixel data suffers from extremely long sequences and high-dimensional spaces. In this paper, we present FARMER, a novel end-to-end generative framework that unifies Normalizing Flows (NFs) and Autoregressive (AR) models for tractable likelihood estimation and high-quality image synthesis directly from raw pixels. FARMER employs an invertible autoregressive flow to transform images into latent sequences, whose distribution is implicitly modeled by an autoregressive model. To address the redundancy and complexity in pixel-level modeling, we propose a self-supervised dimension reduction scheme that partitions NF latent channels into informative and redundant groups, enabling more effective and efficient AR modeling. Furthermore, we design a one-step distillation scheme to significantly accelerate inference speed and introduce a resampling-based classifier-free guidance algorithm to boost image generation quality. Extensive experiments demonstrate that FARMER achieves competitive performance compared to existing pixel-based generative models while providing exact likelihoods and scalable training.

Humans inhabit a physical 4D world, where spatial geometry and semantic content evolve over time, forming a dynamic reality. While current Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) demonstrate strong capabilities in understanding static visual inputs, it remains unclear whether they can effectively "think in dynamics," i.e., perceive, track, and reason about spatio-temporal evolution in complex scenes.To systematically evaluate these abilities, we introduce \texttt Dyn-Bench , a large-scale benchmark designed to assess spatio-temporal reasoning and localized dynamics perception. Constructed through multi-stage filtering over massive 2D and 4D data sources, \texttt Dyn-Bench provides a high-quality collection of diverse dynamic scenes, consisting of 1k videos, 7k visual question answering (VQA) pairs, and 3k dynamic object grounding samples.We comprehensively study general-purpose, spatial-aware, and region-level MLLMs to understand how they "think in dynamics" from both linguistic and visual perspectives. Our results reveal that existing models struggle to jointly excel in both spatio-temporal reasoning and dynamic object grounding, often producing inconsistent interpretations of motion and interaction. Conventional prompting strategies i.e., chain-of-thought or caption-based hints) provide only limited improvements.In contrast, structured integration approaches, including Mask-Guided Fusion and the Spatio-Temporal Textual Cognitive Map (ST-TCM), substantially enhance MLLMs' dynamic perception and spatio-temporal reasoning in an evolving 4D world. These findings underscore the importance of explicit spatio-temporal structural cues to bridge the gap between static perception and dynamic reasoning in MLLMs.

While Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) has become a pivotal paradigm for text-to-image generation, its application to image editing remains largely unexplored. A key bottleneck is the lack of a robust general reward model for all editing tasks. Existing edit reward models usually give overall scores without detailed checks, ignoring different instruction requirements and causing biased rewards. To address this, we propose the Verifier-Based Reasoning Reward Model (RRM), which breaks instructions into verifiable principles, evaluates the edited images against each principle, and aggregates fine-grained scores to reduce hallucinations and provide more interpretable criteria. To address this, we argue the key is to move from a simple scorer to a reasoning verifier. We introduce Edit-R1, a framework to build a chain-of-thought (CoT) verifier-based reasoning reward model (RRM) and leverage it into the downstream editing task. The Edit-RRM breaks instructions into distinct principles, evaluates the edited image against each, and aggregates these checks to provide an interpretable, fine-grained reward. To build such an RRM, we first apply supervised fine-tuning (SFT) as a "cold-start" to generate CoT reward trajectories. Then, we introduce Group Contrastive Preference Optimization (GCPO), a reinforcement learning algorithm that leverages human pairwise preference data to reinforce our pointwise RRM. After building the RRM, we use GRPO to train editing models with this non-differentiable yet powerful reward model. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our Edit-RRM surpasses powerful VLMs such as Seed-1.5-VL and Seed-1.6-VL as an editing-specific reward model, and we observe a clear scaling trend, with performance consistently improving from 3B to 7B parameters. Moreover, Edit-R1 delivers gains to editing models like FLUX.1-kontext, highlighting its effectiveness in enhancing image editing.
