1. Tutorial Introduction

EvoSearch-codes is an Evolutionary Search method launched by the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and Kuaishou Keling team on May 1, 2025. The generation quality of the model is greatly improved by increasing the amount of computation during inference, supporting image and video generation, and supporting the most advanced diffusion-based and flow-based models. EvoSearch does not require training or gradient updates, and can achieve significant optimal results on a series of tasks, and exhibits good scaling up capabilities, robustness and generalization. As the amount of computation during testing increases, EvoSearch shows that SD2.1 and Flux.1-dev also have the potential to match or even exceed GPT-4o. For video generation, Wan 1.3B can also surpass Wan 14B and Hunyuan 13B, showing the potential and research space for test-time scaling to supplement training-time scaling. The relevant paper results are "Scaling Image and Video Generation via Test-Time Evolutionary Search".

This tutorial uses a single RTX A6000 card as the resource. This tutorial provides three examples for testing: Wan Video Generation, SD Image Generation, and FLUX Image Generation.
