Designing a Multimodal-LLM Agent for Multi-Object Diffusion

Explore how to design a multimodal LLM agent that improves text-to-image generation by decomposing prompts, generating objects progressively, and using an internal feedback loop for self-correction. Understand how human interaction can enhance control and reliability in multi-object diffusion tasks through a structured agentic design framework.

In this lesson, we examine how an agentic system design can improve reliability and controllability in complex text-to-image generation tasks. Rather than relying on a single, one-shot model call, how to transform multi-object image generation into a structured, multi-step process managed by planning, execution, and feedback mechanisms.

The multi-object generation challenge

Modern text-to-image (T2I) models can generate high-quality images from a single prompt. However, when prompts require precise compositional reasoning, such as multiple objects, spatial relationships, and attribute bindings, one-shot generation might fail due to the inherent architectural limitation of a “one-shot” generative process. It lacks fine-grained control, interactivity, and a mechanism for self-correction. When a one-shot model fails to capture all the constraints in a complex prompt, our only option is to try again.

These potential failures highlight the need for a more robust and reliable process. This is where an agentic system design offers a different architectural approach. The core question for us as designers is not just “Can the model do it?” but also:

  • How can we make the generation process more reliable and less opaque?

  • How can we give the user (or the system itself) more control over the process?

  • How can the system correct its own mistakes as it goes? ...
