# GoT-R1-1B

GoT-R1 is a framework that applies reinforcement learning to enhance semantic-spatial reasoning in visual generation, as presented in [GoT-R1: Unleashing Reasoning Capability of MLLM for Visual Generation with Reinforcement Learning](https://huggingface.co/papers/2505.17022).

## Introduction

Visual generation models often struggle with complex prompts specifying multiple objects with precise spatial relationships. **GoT-R1** addresses this by applying reinforcement learning to enhance semantic-spatial reasoning. Building upon the Generation Chain-of-Thought (GoT) approach, GoT-R1 enables models to autonomously discover effective reasoning strategies through a dual-stage multi-dimensional reward framework.

- **Enhanced Semantic-Spatial Reasoning**: Uses RL to improve planning of complex scenes.
- **Autonomous Reasoning Chain Discovery**: Moves beyond fixed templates to allow the model to explore more effective reasoning paths.
- **Comprehensive MLLM-based Rewards**: Evaluates both the intermediate reasoning process and the final visual output.
