Core Innovation

This paper presents Interleaving Reasoning Generation (IRG), which uniquely alternates between text-based reasoning and image synthesis to guide and refine image generation. Unlike prior unified multimodal models, IRG preserves semantic details and enhances image quality through iterative refinement. The IRGL training method with a specialized dataset further strengthens initial generation and textual reflection capabilities.
