The authors introduce a shared searcher for jointly selecting architectures, training settings, and data mixtures. It represents configurations as task-specific index sequences and trains a language model to rank candidates from optimization trajectories on one vision task. Without task-specific fine-tuning, it transfers to other tasks; text-to-image GenEval reaches 0.91 versus OptFormer’s 0.84, with model sizes listed inconsistently as 1.1B in the table and 1.3B in methods.
