The paper introduces a controller-capability taxonomy for visual-generation systems, classifying them by the latest generation decision they can causally change, from fixed support and conditioning through operation choice, within-task repair, and cross-task adaptation. In a curated corpus, 202 systems are L3 and 25 are L4, indicating distribution, not performance or field-wide prevalence. It proposes matched evaluations but reports no results.
Key insights
- Defining 'agenticity' based on the causal reach of a controller's decisions provides a consistent and reproducible classification framework, moving beyond superficial architectural complexity.
- Rigorous, controlled evaluation is essential to accurately attribute performance gains to genuine advancements in agentic control rather than merely improved underlying generative models.
- Current research is largely focused on L3 Outcome-Adaptive Control (within-task adaptation), indicating that L4 Experience-Adaptive Control (cross-task experience reuse) represents a less mature but critical frontier.
