summary: "UniEvo-VL is a self-evolving framework that enables multimodal models to improve through self-distillation, using their own critiques as privileged information to train a single model as both teacher and student. Experiments on Qwen-image-2512 showed performance gains on GenEval and GenEval2 Soft-TIFA, though improvements were not uniform across all tasks."

## Summary

UniEvo\-VL is a self\-evolving framework that enables multimodal models to improve through self\-distillation, using their own critiques as privileged information to train a single model as both teacher and student\. Experiments on Qwen\-image\-2512 showed performance gains on GenEval and GenEval2 Soft\-TIFA, though improvements were not uniform across all tasks\.
