arXiv:2610.07250v1 proposes D-OPCD to distill agent improvements into diffusion model weights
The paper (arXiv:2610.07250v1) introduces Diffusion On-Policy Context Distillation (D-OPCD), a method that treats agent-improved prompts as privileged context and distills the agent harness's knowledge into diffusion model weights so the generator retains part of the harness's benefit when given the original query alone. Using a text-to-image agent with the proposed Auto Skill Evolver (ASE), the authors report raising average direct-generation scores from 60.52 to 65.09 across four benchmarks, and a further 1.83-point gain after a second ASE round on the updated generator compared to a skill-free harness.

- If distilled successfully into model weights, agentic improvements become usable without the runtime harness, enabling more efficient and continually co-evolving text-to-image systems.
