Think in Strokes, Not Pixels: Process-Driven Image Generation via Interleaved Reasoning

Lei Zhang, Junjiao Tian, Zhipeng Fan +9

Humans paint images incrementally: they plan a global layout, sketch a coarse draft, inspect, and refine details, and most importantly, each step is grounded in the evolving visual…
