Researchers have introduced ATLAS, a novel framework designed to enhance the controllable image generation capabilities of Unified Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs). ATLAS employs a "Think, Plan, and Paint" paradigm, utilizing layout as a central representation to manage spatial reasoning, object arrangement planning, and final image rendering. This approach has demonstrated significant improvements, with a 65.31% gain over existing layout-based MLLMs and a 23.06% gain over base models on spatially related tasks. The framework also supports instruction-guided editing and multimodal grounding, and a new benchmark, ATLAS-Reasoning, has been developed to evaluate generation under complex spatial instructions. AI
