Researchers have introduced SpectraReward, a novel training-free reward function designed to leverage pretrained Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) as off-the-shelf reward models for text-to-image generation. This method assesses how well an original prompt can be reconstructed from a generated image, utilizing the MLLM's inherent image-text alignment capabilities without requiring preference labels or reward model fine-tuning. A specialized version, Self-SpectraReward, enables a closed-loop self-improvement framework within unified multimodal models. Experiments across various diffusion models, RL algorithms, and MLLM sizes demonstrate that SpectraReward consistently enhances generation performance, outperforming existing MLLM-derived reward training techniques.
