CoF-T2I: Video Models as Pure Visual Reasoners for Text-to-Image Generation

Chengzhuo Tong, Chang Mingkun, Shenglong Zhang, Yuran Wang, Cheng Liang, Zhizheng Zhao +9

ICML 2026poster

Recent video generation models have revealed the emergence of Chain-of-Frame (CoF) reasoning, enabling frame-by-frame visual inference. With this capability, video models have been successfully applied to various visual tasks (*e.g.*, maze solving, visual puzzles). However, their potential to enhanc…

Renrui Zhang, Chengzhuo Tong, Zhizheng Zhao, Ziyu Guo, Haoquan Zhang, Manyuan Zhang +3

CVPR 2025poster

Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning has been extensively explored in large models to tackle complex understanding tasks. However, it still remains an open question whether such strategies can be applied to verifying and reinforcing image generation scenarios. In this paper, we provide the first compreh…
