Exploring MLLM-Diffusion Information Transfer with MetaCanvas

Han Lin, Xichen Pan, Ziqi Huang +10

Multimodal learning has rapidly advanced visual understanding, largely via multimodal large language models (MLLMs) that use powerful LLMs as cognitive cores. In visual generation,…

Transfer between Modalities with MetaQueries

Xichen Pan, Satya Narayan Shukla, Aashu Singh +9

Unified multimodal models aim to integrate understanding (text output) and generation (pixel output), but aligning these different modalities within a single architecture often dem…

PISA Experiments: Exploring Physics Post-Training for Video Diffusion Models by Watching Stuff Drop

Chenyu Li, Oscar Michel, Xichen Pan +3

Large-scale pre-trained video generation models excel in content creation but are not reliable as physically accurate world simulators out of the box. This work studies the process…
