Evidencepartial
we present Gen-Searcher, as the first attempt to train a search-augmented image generation agent, which performs multi-hop reasoning and search to collect the textual knowledge and reference images needed for grounded generation.
Implicationpartial
Explicitly stated in the abstract as a first attempt, with the method described in detail.
Verificationpartial
partial
Evidencepartial
Experiments show that Gen-Searcher brings substantial gains, improving Qwen-Image by around 16 points on KnowGen and 15 points on WISE.
Implicationpartial
Direct numeric result stated in the abstract and supported by experimental data in the paper.
Verificationpartial
partial
Evidencepartial
The system's quality heavily depends on the accuracy of retrieved web content. Incomplete or incorrect web data can lead to erroneous image outputs.
Implicationpartial
Explicitly stated as a caveat in the analysis section, indicating a known limitation.
Verificationpartial
partial
Evidencepartial
we train Gen-Searcher with SFT followed by agentic reinforcement learning with dual reward feedback, which combines text-based and image-based rewards to provide more stable and informative learning signals for GRPO training.
Implicationpartial
Described in the abstract and analysis as a core method, though specific implementation details are summarized.
Verificationpartial
partial
Evidencepartial
we construct a tailored data pipeline and curate two high-quality datasets, Gen-Searcher-SFT-10k and Gen-Searcher-RL-6k, containing diverse search-intensive prompts and corresponding ground-truth synthesis images.
Implicationpartial
Explicitly stated in the abstract as part of the data pipeline, with dataset names and purposes provided.
Verificationpartial
partial
Evidencepartial
around 9 to 15 K-Score, showing that knowledge-intensive and search-grounded image generation remains far beyond the capability of standard text-to-image systems. In contrast, proprietary models perform substantially better
Implicationpartial
Directly stated in the results section with comparative performance metrics.
Verificationpartial
partial
Evidencepartial
Search Tools.Gen-Searcher is equipped with three search tools. The first is search, which performs web text search
Implicationpartial
Described in the method section and illustrated in an inference example, though tool specifics are briefly mentioned.
Verificationpartial
partial
Evidencepartial
We train Gen-Searcher-8B using 8 NVIDIA H800 GPUs, with Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct as the base model. We first perform supervised fine-tuning on Gen-Searcher-SFT-10k, and then further conduct agentic RL training on Gen-Searcher-RL-6k.
Implicationpartial
Specific training details are provided in the experiments section, including hardware, base model, and training stages.
