microsoft/AesCode 8B and 32B

AesCode generates information-rich visual artifacts such as slides, posters, and dashboards as HTML/CSS.

Key points

  • The output remains structured, editable, and verifiable, but the task poses a distinct challenge: code models cannot see how layout, hierarchy, and color come together on the canvas.
  • AesCode uses an image generated from the same prompt as an aesthetic reference while following the prompt for the required content.
  • AesCode separates semantic requirements from visual cues through graph-structured supervision and decoupled cross-modal rewards.
  • AesCode-32B starts from Qwen3-VL-32B-Instruct and is trained with cold-start SFT followed by GDPO across seven reward channels.
