Multi-image composition (MICo) is a critical yet challenging capability for large-scale image editing models, where consistency degrades rapidly as the number of reference images increases. While supervised fine-tuning (SFT) can equip models with basic MICo ability, it provides only implicit supervision on the composed image and often fails to learn reliable object-level correspondence across multiple references. We propose DeCoRL, a reinforcement-learning (RL) framework that improves MICo consistency by decomposing holistic MICo consistency into object-level consistency. DeCoRL first establishes instruction-relevant object correspondences across reference images and localizes the corresponding regions in the generated image. It then uses a VLM-based reward model trained on single-object consistency annotations to produce fine-grained, object-wise feedback, which is aggregated into a multi-object consistency reward to guide RL post-training. We further introduce DeCo-Bench, a benchmark covering compositions from 2 to 6 reference images. Experiments on DeCo-Bench and the public MICo-Bench demonstrate consistent improvements in MICo consistency.

Despite recent progress in context compression, we identify a fundamental memorization-utilization gap where models can compress context with near-perfect fidelity yet fail to effectively utilize these compressed representations for downstream tasks. We address this with a holistic training paradigm spanning pretraining, instruction tuning, and reinforcement learning, built upon an average pooling compression. Our key innovation uses outcome-based RL to enable implicit expansion: the model learns to adaptively unfold task-relevant details during generation, interleaving reconstruction with reasoning. We achieve near-lossless 16x context compression (≈5.3x decoder sequence-length reduction in our current implementation) across 7B and 32B models, recovering over 98% of full-context QA performance and outperforming prior methods by 11 points. Our 32B model demonstrates strong out-of-distribution and length generalization, robustly scaling to 120k-token contexts despite training on no more than 4k tokens, matching full-context performance on NIAH, LongBench v2, and multi-hop reasoning. We verify the implicit expansion behavior in experiments.
