RSIgen: Reciprocal Self-Improvement for Agentic Visual Generation

Agentic visual generation produces experience that can improve the native understanding (agent) and generation roles of a unified multimodal backbone, but task success alone does not determine which role should learn. Generator updates can also make the agent's action supervision stale. We introduce RSIgen, a task-centric reciprocal self-improvement framework linking learning allocation, supervision refresh, and recursive curriculum construction. Dynamic Responsibility Routing (DRR) uses matched interventions on evidence, inputs, and supported actions to select learning recipients and construct compatible training targets. After generator learning, RSIgen re-evaluates the relative utility of tested actions with branch inputs held fixed to refresh agent supervision; the retained roles then construct the next curriculum. Across BAGEL, Qwen-Image, and Wan-Image-7B, RSIgen improves AgentGen-Bench Full Overall9 by 3.2–3.3 points over a three-cycle SearchGen adaptation with action costs. Wan controls support allocation gains at matched role-level training exposure, refresh gains at a matched adaptation budget, and benefits from updated curriculum sources while recipients continue learning. In blind evaluation on 200 real-user requests, pooled tie-adjusted preference scores against the same baseline reach 70.0% for task completion and 64.9% for visual quality.
