We identify this challenge as the Context Gap: the mismatch between the user context and the sufficient generation context for T2I models. To bridge this gap, we propose Qwen-Image-Agent, a unified agentic framework that integrates plan, reason, search, memory and feedback in a context-centric manner. Qwen-Image-Agent treats user input as partial context and progressively constructs the generation context through Context-Aware Planning and Context Grounding. Specifically, Context-Aware Planning identifies missing context and plans how it should be acquired and used, while Context Grounding gathers this context from reason, search, memory, and feedback. To evaluate agentic image generation, we further introduce Image Agent Bench (IA-Bench), a benchmark covering four core image agent capabilities: Plan, Reason, Search, and Memory. Experiments on IA-Bench, Mindbench and WISE-Verified show that Qwen-Image-Agent outperforms strong baselines and achieves state-of-the-art performance.
