Abstract

Large language models (LLMs) can generate visual assets through text-based formats such as SVG and CAD, but these symbolic representations describe images using high-level primitives rather than explicit raster values. We ask whether LLMs can instead generate pixel images directly through their existing vocabulary, without a learned image tokenizer or decoder. We introduce PixelBench, a benchmark
