RefineSVG: Visual Feedback-Driven Reinforcement Learning for Image-to-SVG Generation

We propose RefineSVG, a single-step closed-loop visual feedback framework that enables multimodal large language models (MLLMs) to perform high-fidelity image-to-SVG generation through self-correction. Existing MLLM-based approaches rely on single-pass open-loop inference, where the model receives visual input only once and must generate thousands of SVG code tokens without intermediate verification. This paradigm inevitably leads to geometric drift, error accumulation, and visual hallucination on complex images. RefineSVG overcomes this limitation by invoking an external rendering engine after an initial SVG generation pass to compare the rendered output against the target image. The comparison yields a multi-dimensional visual residual map (Diff-Map) that is fed back to the model as a ReAct-style correction signal, driving a targeted correction step. To support this render-observe-correct interaction, we further introduce an SVG-oriented semantic vocabulary that compresses token sequences by over 52%. A progressive training pipeline spanning supervised fine-tuning, rejection-sampling cold-start data construction, and end-to-end agentic reinforcement learning aligns the model with closed-loop visual correction. Extensive experiments show that RefineSVG consistently outperforms existing baselines in reconstruction fidelity, structural accuracy, and code efficiency.Code is available at https://github.com/liuxiaobo66/RefineSVG.

ERNIE 5.0 Technical Report

In this report, we introduce ERNIE 5.0, a natively autoregressive foundation model desinged for unified multimodal understanding and generation across text, image, video, and audio. All modalities are trained from scratch under a unified next-group-of-tokens prediction objective, based on an ultra-sparse mixture-of-experts (MoE) architecture with modality-agnostic expert routing. To address practical challenges in large-scale deployment under diverse resource constraints, ERNIE 5.0 adopts a novel elastic training paradigm. Within a single pre-training run, the model learns a family of sub-models with varying depths, expert capacities, and routing sparsity, enabling flexible trade-offs among performance, model size, and inference latency in memory- or time-constrained scenarios. Moreover, we systematically address the challenges of scaling reinforcement learning to unified foundation models, thereby guaranteeing efficient and stable post-training under ultra-sparse MoE architectures and diverse multimodal settings. Extensive experiments demonstrate that ERNIE 5.0 achieves strong and balanced performance across multiple modalities. To the best of our knowledge, among publicly disclosed models, ERNIE 5.0 represents the first production-scale realization of a trillion-parameter unified autoregressive model that supports both multimodal understanding and generation. To facilitate further research, we present detailed visualizations of modality-agnostic expert routing in the unified model, alongside comprehensive empirical analysis of elastic training, aiming to offer profound insights to the community.
