To meet the growing demand for autonomous decision-making and real-time optimization in industrial manufacturing, integrating Artificial Intelligence-Generated Content (AIGC) services with Industry 5.0 can enable real-time industrial intelligence. The effectiveness of a generative model is closely related to the current state of the production environment. However, existing studies often ignore the dynamic temporal relationship between generative models and production environments, especially in industrial scenarios with large model transmission delays and random AIGC task arrivals. Therefore, we define a novel metric, namely the Age of Model (AoM), to measure the freshness of generative models with respect to current industrial tasks. We then formulate an average-AoM-minimization problem that jointly considers LoRA-based fine-tuning, wireless transmission and resource allocation. To solve this problem, we propose a Hybrid-Action Multi-Agent Proximal Policy Optimization (HA-MAPPO) algorithm. The proposed algorithm follows the centralized training and decentralized execution (CTDE) paradigm and introduces a Main-Agent Priority State Strategy to support coordinated training and independent execution. In addition, a multi-head output structure is designed to handle the hybrid-action space, which includes discrete fine-tuning association decisions and continuous transmission resource allocation. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme outperforms all benchmark methods. Specifically, the cumulative rewards are improved by approximately 11.13%, 20.32%, 36.61%, and 38.78% compared with the four benchmark algorithms, respectively. These results demonstrate that the proposed scheme can significantly reduce the average AoM while providing high-quality and timely industrial AIGC services.
