OmniHarness: Harnessing Generalizable Visual Generation via Symbolic Policy Learning

Unified multimodal large language models (MLLMs) and multi-agent systems have advanced visual generation. However, three limitations remain. (1) Existing methods often distill task-specific experience with limited generalizability. (2) Reflection is often deferred until task completion. (3) Knowledge is often acquired only in response to downstream task demands. To address these limitations, we introduce OmniHarness, a framework for generalizable visual generation via symbolic policy learning. OmniHarness abstracts verified executions into symbolic policies for visual generation task families, capturing shared procedures and applicability conditions while removing instance-specific inputs. The harness instantiates, adapts, and composes these policies for new tasks. Intermediate verification guides refinement and failure recovery during execution. Through self-directed inquiry, OmniHarness autonomously generates and executes practice tasks near its capability limits before downstream objectives are specified. Execution feedback continually refines the policies while model parameters remain fixed. Experiments across six benchmarks, three MLLM backbones, and three visual agent frameworks demonstrate strong performance and continual capability expansion. On ComfyBench's Creative tasks, OmniHarness achieves a 95.0% resolve rate, exceeding the strongest baseline by 27.5 percentage points. Frozen policy snapshots improve existing visual agent systems through plug-and-play reuse.

Constructing Mechanical Design Agent Based on Large Language Models

Since ancient times, mechanical design aids have been developed to assist human users, aimed at improving the efficiency and effectiveness of design. However, even with the widespread use of contemporary Computer-Aided Design (CAD) systems, there are still high learning costs, repetitive work, and other challenges. In recent years, the rise of Large Language Models (LLMs) has introduced new productivity opportunities to the field of mechanical design. Yet, it remains unrealistic to rely on LLMs alone to complete mechanical design tasks directly. Through a series of explorations, we propose a method for constructing a comprehensive Mechanical Design Agent (MDA) by guiding LLM learning. To verify the validity of our proposed method, we conducted a series of experiments and presented relevant cases.
