Researchers have developed a novel training pipeline called ManimTrainer, which combines supervised fine-tuning (SFT) with reinforcement learning (RL) techniques like Group Relative Policy Optimisation (GRPO). This approach aims to improve the generation of programmatic animations using Large Language Models (LLMs) with libraries such as Manim. The study also introduced ManimAgent, an inference pipeline that utilizes Renderer-in-the-loop (RITL) and API documentation-augmented RITL (RITL-DOC) strategies. Evaluations on ManimBench showed that SFT enhances code quality, while GRPO improves visual outputs and responsiveness to self-correction. The Qwen 3 Coder 30B model, when trained with GRPO and using RITL-DOC, achieved superior performance, outperforming GPT-4.1 in visual similarity. AI
