The authors propose Coordinated Multi-Agent Diffusion Steering (CMDS), which treats independently trained diffusion models as fixed generative primitives and learns a control that steers their joint reverse processes toward high-reward assembled outputs.

The authors propose Coordinated Multi-Agent Diffusion Steering (CMDS), a modular post-training framework.
