👀 Intro

We introduce Gen-Searcher, as the first attempt to train a multimodal deep research agent for image generation that requires complex real-world knowledge. Gen-Searcher can search the web, browse evidence, reason over multiple sources, and search visual references before generation, enabling more accurate and up-to-date image synthesis in real-world scenarios.

We build two dedicated training datasets Gen-Searcher-SFT-10k, Gen-Searcher-RL-6k and one new benchmark KnowGen for search-grounded image generation.

Gen-Searcher achieves significant improvements, delivering 15+ point gains on the KnowGen and WISE benchmarks. It also demonstrates strong transferability to various image generators.

All code, models, data, and benchmark are fully released.
