Gen-Searcher: Reinforcing Agentic Search for Image Generation

Chenyang Wang, Dian Zheng, Hongyu Li, Kaituo Feng, Kaixuan Fan, Manyuan Zhang, Shuang Chen, Xiangyu Yue, Yilei Jiang, Yunlong Lin

Gen-Searcher trains image generators to run multi-hop searches for external knowledge and reference images before synthesis.

✓ Portable graph bundle live · download bundle · merged state

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

Experiments show that Gen-Searcher brings substantial gains, improving Qwen-Image by around 16 points on KnowGen and 15 points on WISE.

C2weakest assumption

That multi-hop search reliably returns accurate, relevant textual knowledge and reference images that can be directly used for grounded generation without introducing new errors or noise.

C3one line summary

Gen-Searcher is the first search-augmented image generation agent trained with SFT followed by agentic RL using dual text and image rewards on custom datasets and the KnowGen benchmark.
