Text-to-Image (T2I) diffusion models have achieved remarkable success in image generation. Despite their progress, challenges remain in both prompt-following ability, image quality and lack of high-quality datasets, which are essential for refining these models. As acquiring labeled data is costly, we introduce AGFSync, a framework that enhances T2I diffusion models through Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) in a fully AI-driven approach. AGFSync utilizes Vision-Language Models (VLM) to assess image quality across style, coherence, and aesthetics, generating feedback data within an AI-driven loop. By applying AGFSync to leading T2I models such as SD v1.4, v1.5, and SDXL-base, our extensive experiments on the TIFA dataset demonstrate notable improvements in VQA scores, aesthetic evaluations, and performance on the HPS v2 benchmark, consistently outperforming the base models. AGFSync's method of refining T2I diffusion models paves the way for scalable alignment techniques.

Security concerns related to Large Language Models (LLMs) have been extensively explored; however, the safety implications for Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs), particularly in medical contexts (MedMLLMs), remain inadequately addressed. This paper investigates the security vulnerabilities of MedMLLMs, focusing on their deployment in clinical environments where the accuracy and relevance of question-and-answer interactions are crucial for addressing complex medical challenges. We introduce and redefine two attack types: mismatched malicious attack (2M-attack) and optimized mismatched malicious attack (O2M-attack), by integrating existing clinical data with atypical natural phenomena. Using the comprehensive 3MAD dataset that we developed, which spans a diverse range of medical imaging modalities and adverse medical scenarios, we performed an in-depth analysis and proposed the MCM optimization method. This approach significantly improves the attack success rate against MedMLLMs. Our evaluations, which include white-box attacks on LLaVA-Med and transfer (black-box) attacks on four other SOTA models, reveal that even MedMLLMs designed with advanced security mechanisms remain vulnerable to breaches. This study highlights the critical need for robust security measures to enhance the safety and reliability of open-source MedMLLMs, especially in light of the potential impact of jailbreak attacks and other malicious exploits in clinical applications. Warning: Medical jailbreaking may generate content that includes unverified diagnoses and treatment recommendations. Always consult professional medical advice.

Spatial referring is a fundamental capability of embodied robots to interact with the 3D physical world. However, even with the powerful pretrained VLMs, recent approaches are still not qualified to accurately understand the complex 3D scenes and dynamically reason about the instruction-indicated locations for interaction. To this end, we propose RoboRefer, a 3D-aware vision language model (VLM) that can first achieve precise spatial understanding by integrating a disentangled but dedicated depth encoder via supervised fine-tuning (SFT). Moreover, RoboRefer advances generalized multi-step spatial reasoning via reinforcement fine-tuning (RFT), with metric-sensitive process reward functions tailored for spatial referring tasks. To support SFT and RFT training, we introduce RefSpatial, a large-scale dataset of 20M QA pairs (2x prior), covering 31 spatial relations (vs. 15 prior) and supporting complex reasoning processes (up to 5 steps). In addition, we introduce RefSpatial-Bench, a challenging benchmark filling the gap in evaluating spatial referring with multi-step reasoning. Experiments show that SFT-trained RoboRefer achieves state-of-the-art spatial understanding, with an average success rate of 89.6%. RFT-trained RoboRefer further outperforms all other baselines by a large margin, even surpassing Gemini-2.5-Pro by 12.4% in average accuracy on RefSpatial-Bench. Notably, RoboRefer can be integrated with various control policies to execute long-horizon, dynamic tasks across diverse robots (e,g., UR5, G1 humanoid) in cluttered real-world scenes.
