SearchEyes: Towards Frontier Multimodal Deep Search Intelligence via Search World Simulation

Training multimodal search agents to perform multi-hop reasoning remains challenging due to a fundamental structural disconnect: existing pipelines construct training data, search environments, and reward signals independently, causing synthesized structural metadata to be discarded, environments to rely on irreproducible external engines, and RL rewards to remain sparse at the trajectory level. We present \textbf{SearchEyes}, which uses a typed knowledge graph as the backbone of a \emph{simulated search world} that unifies all three components. We propose \textbf{Perception-Knowledge Chains (PKC)} to sample constrained multi-hop paths over the visual-knowledge intersection of Wikidata5M, retaining hop-level entity metadata that simultaneously defines a self-contained search world and step-level reward anchors. We further propose \textbf{Hop-Anchored Policy Optimization (HaPO)}, which reuses these anchors for step-level credit assignment without a separately trained process reward model. Experiments on six multimodal knowledge-intensive benchmarks show that SearchEyes achieves state-of-the-art performance among open-source multimodal search agents, with SearchEyes-27B improving over the strongest open-source baseline by 6.2 points on average.%

UniCoder: Unified Visual-to-Code Generation via Symbolic Rewards and Reference-Guided Code Optimization

Visual-to-Code generation, which transforms scientific plots, vector graphics, and webpages into executable scripts, demands a level of pixel-precise alignment that standard Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) fail to achieve through Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) alone. While Reinforcement Learning (RL) offers a theoretical pathway to bridge this gap, its application is hindered by two fundamental obstacles: (1) \textit{Reward Coarseness}, where semantic metrics like CLIP scores fail to penalize fine-grained element deviations, and (2) \textit{Exploration Stagnation}, where the sparse, heterogeneous code search space prevents the policy from bootstrapping valid trajectories. To overcome these limitations, we introduce UniCoder, a unified RL framework that integrates two novel mechanisms. First, we propose \textbf{Symbolic Attribute Alignment}, which employs a lightweight auxiliary LLM to parse generated code into discrete visual attributes (e.g., hex colors, coordinate limits), enabling dense, element-wise reward computation. Second, to escape local optima, we devise \textbf{Reference-Guided Code Optimization}, a strategy that dynamically injects ground-truth trajectories into low-performing rollout groups, transforming blind exploration into guided policy improvement. Extensive experiments on ChartMimic, UniSVG, Design2Code and ScreenBench benchmarks demonstrate that our 8B-parameter model not only surpasses all open-source baselines but also achieves state-of-the-art performance comparable to proprietary models, establishing a new paradigm for generalized visual-to-code synthesis.

Gen-Searcher: Reinforcing Agentic Search for Image Generation

Recent image generation models have shown strong capabilities in generating high-fidelity and photorealistic images. However, they are fundamentally constrained by frozen internal knowledge, thus often failing on real-world scenarios that are knowledge-intensive or require up-to-date information. In this paper, 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. To achieve this, 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. We further introduce KnowGen, a comprehensive benchmark that explicitly requires search-grounded external knowledge for image generation and evaluates models from multiple dimensions. Based on these resources, 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. Experiments show that Gen-Searcher brings substantial gains, improving Qwen-Image by around 16 points on KnowGen and 15 points on WISE. We hope this work can serve as an open foundation for search agents in image generation, and we fully open-source our data, models, and code.

FailureMem: A Failure-Aware Multimodal Framework for Autonomous Software Repair

Multimodal Automated Program Repair (MAPR) extends traditional program repair by requiring models to jointly reason over source code, textual issue descriptions, and visual artifacts such as GUI screenshots. While recent LLM-based repair systems have shown promising results, existing approaches face several limitations: rigid workflow pipelines restrict exploration during debugging, visual reasoning is often performed over full-page screenshots without localized grounding, and failed repair attempts are rarely transformed into reusable knowledge. To address these challenges, we propose FailureMem, a multimodal repair framework that integrates three key mechanisms: a hybrid workflow-agent architecture that balances structured localization with flexible reasoning, active perception tools that enable region-level visual grounding, and a Failure Memory Bank that converts past repair attempts into reusable guidance. Experiments on SWE-bench Multimodal demonstrate FailureMem improves the resolved rate over GUIRepair by 3.7%.

Exploring Reasoning Reward Model for Agents

Agentic Reinforcement Learning (Agentic RL) has achieved notable success in enabling agents to perform complex reasoning and tool use. However, most methods still relies on sparse outcome-based reward for training. Such feedback fails to differentiate intermediate reasoning quality, leading to suboptimal training results. In this paper, we introduce Agent Reasoning Reward Model (Agent-RRM), a multi-faceted reward model that produces structured feedback for agentic trajectories, including (1) an explicit reasoning trace , (2) a focused critique that provides refinement guidance by highlighting reasoning flaws, and (3) an overall score that evaluates process performance. Leveraging these signals, we systematically investigate three integration strategies: Reagent-C (text-augmented refinement), Reagent-R (reward-augmented guidance), and Reagent-U (unified feedback integration). Extensive evaluations across 12 diverse benchmarks demonstrate that Reagent-U yields substantial performance leaps, achieving 43.7% on GAIA and 46.2% on WebWalkerQA, validating the effectiveness of our reasoning reward model and training schemes. Code, models, and datasets are all released to facilitate future research.

QuadSentinel: Sequent Safety for Machine-Checkable Control in Multi-agent Systems

Safety risks arise as large language model-based agents solve complex tasks with tools, multi-step plans, and inter-agent messages. However, deployer-written policies in natural language are ambiguous and context dependent, so they map poorly to machine-checkable rules, and runtime enforcement is unreliable. Expressing safety policies as sequents, we propose \textsc{QuadSentinel}, a four-agent guard (state tracker, policy verifier, threat watcher, and referee) that compiles these policies into machine-checkable rules built from predicates over observable state and enforces them online. Referee logic plus an efficient top-$k$ predicate updater keeps costs low by prioritizing checks and resolving conflicts hierarchically. Measured on ST-WebAgentBench (ICML CUA~'25) and AgentHarm (ICLR~'25), \textsc{QuadSentinel} improves guardrail accuracy and rule recall while reducing false positives. Against single-agent baselines such as ShieldAgent (ICML~'25), it yields better overall safety control. Near-term deployments can adopt this pattern without modifying core agents by keeping policies separate and machine-checkable. Our code will be made publicly available at https://github.com/yyiliu/QuadSentinel.

FlowDC: Flow-Based Decoupling-Decay for Complex Image Editing

With the surge of pre-trained text-to-image flow matching models, text-based image editing performance has gained remarkable improvement, especially for \underline{simple editing} that only contains a single editing target. To satisfy the exploding editing requirements, the \underline{complex editing} which contains multiple editing targets has posed as a more challenging task. However, current complex editing solutions: single-round and multi-round editing are limited by long text following and cumulative inconsistency, respectively. Thus, they struggle to strike a balance between semantic alignment and source consistency. In this paper, we propose \textbf{FlowDC}, which decouples the complex editing into multiple sub-editing effects and superposes them in parallel during the editing process. Meanwhile, we observed that the velocity quantity that is orthogonal to the editing displacement harms the source structure preserving. Thus, we decompose the velocity and decay the orthogonal part for better source consistency. To evaluate the effectiveness of complex editing settings, we construct a complex editing benchmark: Complex-PIE-Bench. On two benchmarks, FlowDC shows superior results compared with existing methods. We also detail the ablations of our module designs.

ScreenCoder: Advancing Visual-to-Code Generation for Front-End Automation via Modular Multimodal Agents

Automating the transformation of user interface (UI) designs into front-end code holds significant promise for accelerating software development and democratizing design workflows. While recent large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated progress in text-to-code generation, many existing approaches rely solely on natural language prompts, limiting their effectiveness in capturing spatial layout and visual design intent. In contrast, UI development in practice is inherently multimodal, often starting from visual sketches or mockups. To address this gap, we introduce a modular multi-agent framework that performs UI-to-code generation in three interpretable stages: grounding, planning, and generation. The grounding agent uses a vision-language model to detect and label UI components, the planning agent constructs a hierarchical layout using front-end engineering priors, and the generation agent produces HTML/CSS code via adaptive prompt-based synthesis. This design improves robustness, interpretability, and fidelity over end-to-end black-box methods. Furthermore, we extend the framework into a scalable data engine that automatically produces large-scale image-code pairs. Using these synthetic examples, we fine-tune and reinforce an open-source VLM, yielding notable gains in UI understanding and code quality. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our approach achieves state-of-the-art performance in layout accuracy, structural coherence, and code correctness. Our code is made publicly available at https://github.com/leigest519/ScreenCoder.

MSR-Align: Policy-Grounded Multimodal Alignment for Safety-Aware Reasoning in Vision-Language Models

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have achieved remarkable progress in multimodal reasoning tasks through enhanced chain-of-thought capabilities. However, this advancement also introduces novel safety risks, as these models become increasingly vulnerable to harmful multimodal prompts that can trigger unethical or unsafe behaviors. Existing safety alignment approaches, primarily designed for unimodal language models, fall short in addressing the complex and nuanced threats posed by multimodal inputs. Moreover, current safety datasets lack the fine-grained, policy-grounded reasoning required to robustly align reasoning-capable VLMs. In this work, we introduce {MSR-Align}, a high-quality Multimodal Safety Reasoning dataset tailored to bridge this gap. MSR-Align supports fine-grained, deliberative reasoning over standardized safety policies across both vision and text modalities. Our data generation pipeline emphasizes multimodal diversity, policy-grounded reasoning, and rigorous quality filtering using strong multimodal judges. Extensive experiments demonstrate that fine-tuning VLMs on MSR-Align substantially improves robustness against both textual and vision-language jailbreak attacks, while preserving or enhancing general reasoning performance. MSR-Align provides a scalable and effective foundation for advancing the safety alignment of reasoning-capable VLMs. Our dataset is made publicly available at https://huggingface.co/datasets/Leigest/MSR-Align.

Pushing the Limits of Safety: A Technical Report on the ATLAS Challenge 2025

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have enabled transformative advancements across diverse applications but remain susceptible to safety threats, especially jailbreak attacks that induce harmful outputs. To systematically evaluate and improve their safety, we organized the Adversarial Testing & Large-model Alignment Safety Grand Challenge (ATLAS) 2025}. This technical report presents findings from the competition, which involved 86 teams testing MLLM vulnerabilities via adversarial image-text attacks in two phases: white-box and black-box evaluations. The competition results highlight ongoing challenges in securing MLLMs and provide valuable guidance for developing stronger defense mechanisms. The challenge establishes new benchmarks for MLLM safety evaluation and lays groundwork for advancing safer multimodal AI systems. The code and data for this challenge are openly available at https://github.com/NY1024/ATLAS_Challenge_2025.
