Muse Image and Video's self-refinement behavior emerged naturally during reinforcement learning rather than being hand-scripted, and their output quality improves as test-time compute is scaled up.

Meta Superintelligence Labs describes Muse Image/Video's agentic loop (planning, search, tool use, code execution, self-refinement) as a capability that arose emergently from RL rather than manual engineering, with quality scaling with test-time compute. ✦ AI generated

The notable technical angle is not just image quality, but an explicitly agentic generation loop: planning, web search, tool use, code execution, and self-refinement before rendering. Meta also says performance improves with scaled test-time compute, and that self-refinement behavior emerged during RL rather than being hand-scripted in this follow-up.

MCTS-based training works because it never asks the network to directly chase a win/loss signal — instead, for every single action taken, search produces a strictly better relabeled target, giving one clean supervision signal per action instead of a noisy win-rate credit-assignment problem.

Newer Anthropic models have been specifically trained, presumably via reinforcement learning, to better use the edit tools baked into Claude Code, and this makes them more likely to misuse the differently-shaped custom edit tools of other coding harnesses like Pi.

Back-of-envelope math comparing global inference token volume to rumored pre-training token counts (~150 trillion) versus the Chinchilla-optimal token count for a ~100B-active-parameter model (~2 trillion) implies frontier models are being trained on roughly 100x more data than Chinchilla scaling laws would recommend.
