Official repository for the paper "CoCo: Code as CoT for Text-to-Image Preview and Rare Concept Generation".
- [2026.3.09] We release the arxiv paper.
We propose CoCo-as-CoT (CoCo), a novel interleaved reasoning paradigm that fully leverages both textual and visual contents in CoT for better planning and verification.
Our method 🎨 first generates Python MatPlotlib Code and render by sandbox as a preview, providing more concrete and structural visual planning and guidance.
Then, we 🔎 employ the model’s inherent understanding capability to verify potential semantic misalignments between the draft and input prompt, and 🖼️ achieve higher fidelity and stronger semantic alignment.
