Multimodal instruction-following models require training data that is accurate, diverse, verifiable, and challenging. Existing synthesis pipelines typically follow a one-pass generate-and-filter paradigm, discarding feedback from failed samples, verifier outcomes, and target-model errors. We present VISA (Visual Instruction Synthesis Agent), an agentic framework that reformulates multimodal instruction synthesis as a self-evolving loop. At each round, VISA analyzes an image to filter incompatible constraints and discover new verifiable ones, samples diversity- and difficulty-aware constraint sets from persistent memory, generates candidate instructions, and verifies the resulting samples with executable tools and structured large language model judges. Failed samples trigger diagnostic-guided recovery, while accepted samples are probed against the target model to estimate difficulty. The resulting verifier signals and target-model failure profiles are written back to memory, allowing subsequent rounds to adaptively expand the constraint space, reduce template repetition, and focus on unresolved model weaknesses. The same verifier contracts further provide reward signals for reinforcement learning without a separately trained reward model. Experiments on MM-IFEval show that VISA consistently improves multimodal instruction following over strong baselines, while preserving general multimodal capability across seven public benchmarks.
The explosive growth of Text-to-Image (T2I) models, from large-scale versions to lightweight, real-time ones, now faces diminishing marginal returns from single-model scaling. Agentic T2I methods emerged to alleviate this bottleneck by using multiple models. However, existing agentic T2I methods suffer from three key challenges: reliance on expensive handcrafted priors or human annotations, rigid single-path decision mechanisms, and a neglect of inference efficiency. To address these challenges, we introduce OctoT2I, a novel agentic framework that reformulates the T2I task as a joint optimization of generation quality and inference efficiency. OctoT2I implements a stateful, multi-round routing strategy that adaptively selects the most suitable tool based on its knowledge and memory. This strategy is enabled by a knowledge base built from scratch by our novel Self-Evolving Mechanism. This mechanism, which requires no human supervision, first autonomously defines foundational Conceptual Dimensions (eg, style, color, count) and then intelligently explores their combinations via an iterative" Propose--Solve--Evaluate--Learn"(PSEL) loop. The PSEL loop efficiently discovers each tool's capability frontier, driving continuous improvement without external guidance. Extensive experiments demonstrate that OctoT2I achieves competitive performance (0.96) on GenEval while delivering a 90.3% inference speedup and a 56.6% energy-efficiency gain over the leading baseline (Flow-GRPO), striking an exceptional balance between performance and efficiency. Code and models will be made available.
