This repository contains **PaCo-Reward-7B**, a key component of the **PaCo-RL** framework, as presented in the paper:
[**PaCo-RL: Advancing Reinforcement Learning for Consistent Image Generation with Pairwise Reward Modeling**](https://huggingface.co/papers/2512.04784)
The **PaCo-RL** framework is designed for consistent image generation through reinforcement learning, aiming to preserve identities, styles, and logical coherence across multiple images for applications like storytelling and character design. **PaCo-Reward-7B** specifically acts as a pairwise consistency evaluator. It is trained on a large-scale dataset constructed via automated sub-figure pairing and evaluates consistency through a generative, autoregressive scoring mechanism, enhanced by task-aware instructions and Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning.

## 🌟 Overview
**PaCo-RL** is a comprehensive framework for consistent image generation through reinforcement learning, addressing challenges in preserving identities, styles, and logical coherence across multiple images for storytelling and character design applications.
### Key Components
- **PaCo-Reward**: A pairwise consistency evaluator with task-aware instruction and CoT reasoning.
- **PaCo-GRPO**: Efficient RL optimization with resolution-decoupled training and log-tamed multi-reward aggregation

## Example Usage
PaCo-Reward-7B is fine-tuned based on [Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct), so you can load the model similarly with the following code:
```python
import torch
from transformers import Qwen2_5_VLForConditionalGeneration, AutoTokenizer, AutoProcessor
from qwen_vl_utils import process_vision_info
model = Qwen2_5_VLForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained(
"X-GenGroup/PaCo-Reward-7B", torch_dtype="bfloat16", device_map="auto"
)
# default processer
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("X-GenGroup/PaCo-Reward-7B")
image1 = 'https://huggingface.co/X-GenGroup/PaCo-Reward-7B/resolve/main/images/image_1.jpg'
image2 = 'https://huggingface.co/X-GenGroup/PaCo-Reward-7B/resolve/main/images/image_2.jpg'
main_prompt = 'Generate multiple images portraying a medical scene of a dentist in scrubs. The images should include activities such as explaining oral hygiene to a patient, taking X-rays of teeth, cleaning teeth in a dental office, and filling a cavity during an appointment. The setting should depict a realistic dental clinic.'
text_prompt = (
f"Given two subfigures generated based on the theme: \"{main_prompt}\", "
f"do the two images maintain consistency in terms of style, logic and identity? "
f"Answer \"Yes\" and \"No\" first, and then provide detailed reasons."
)
# Example: Compare whether two images are visually consistent
messages_1 = [
{
"role": "user",
"content": [
{"type": "image", "image": image1},
{"type": "image", "image": image2},
{"type": "text", "text": text_prompt},
],
}
]
# Preparation for inference
text = processor.apply_chat_template(
messages_1, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True
)
image_inputs, video_inputs = process_vision_info(messages_1)
inputs = processor(
text=[text],
images=image_inputs,
videos=video_inputs,
padding=True,
return_tensors="pt",
)
inputs = inputs.to("cuda")
# Inference: Calculate consistency score
# Get logits for first token
with torch.no_grad():
outputs = model(**inputs)
first_token_logits = outputs.logits[0, -1, :] # Last position of prompt
# Get token IDs for "Yes" and "No"
yes_id = processor.tokenizer.encode("Yes", add_special_tokens=False)[0]
no_id = processor.tokenizer.encode("No", add_special_tokens=False)[0]
# Calculate probability
yes_logit = first_token_logits[yes_id]
no_logit = first_token_logits[no_id]
yes_prob = torch.exp(yes_logit) / (torch.exp(yes_logit) + torch.exp(no_logit))
print(f"Consistency Score (Yes Conditional Probability): {yes_prob.item():.4f}")
# Inference: Generate detailed reasons
generated_ids = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=512)
generated_ids_trimmed = [
out_ids[len(in_ids) :] for in_ids, out_ids in zip(inputs.input_ids, generated_ids)
]
output_text = processor.batch_decode(
generated_ids_trimmed, skip_special_tokens=True, clean_up_tokenization_spaces=False
)
print(output_text[0])
```
