Adobe's FlowTool frames image retouching as flow matching, cutting latency 50x

Adobe Research's FlowTool reformulates tool-based image retouching as conditional flow matching: a VLM backbone plus a DiT parameter generator turns noise into editing parameters, trained with a two-stage supervised curriculum and reward-based post-training. It beats specialized MLLM agents on reference-based metrics across MMArt-Bench, ArtEdit-Bench and MIT-Adobe5K, while cutting latency by at least 50x and memory by 2x.
