UniWorld-Design: From Pixel Generation to Layer-Native Design
Zongjian Li, Zhiyuan Yan, Chenxu Bai +9
We introduce UniWorld-Design, a framework that redefines image generation from flat pixel synthesis to structured visual composition, with semantic RGBA layers as the atomic units…
Unified Multimodal Models as Auto-Encoders
Zhiyuan Yan, Kaiqing Lin, Zongjian Li +10
Image-to-text (I2T) understanding and text-to-image (T2I) generation are two fundamental, important yet traditionally isolated multimodal tasks. Despite their intrinsic connection,…
GIR-Bench: Versatile Benchmark for Generating Images with Reasoning
Hongxiang Li, Yaowei Li, Bin Lin +7
Unified multimodal models integrate the reasoning capacity of large language models with both image understanding and generation, showing great promise for advanced multimodal inte…
iFSQ: Improving FSQ for Image Generation with 1 Line of Code
Bin Lin, Zongjian Li, Yuwei Niu +9
The field of image generation is currently bifurcated into autoregressive (AR) models operating on discrete tokens and diffusion models utilizing continuous latents. This divide, r…
JarvisEvo: Towards a Self-Evolving Photo Editing Agent with Synergistic Editor-Evaluator Optimization
Yunlong Lin, Linqing Wang, Kunjie Lin +11
Agent-based editing models have substantially advanced interactive experiences, processing quality, and creative flexibility. However, two critical challenges persist: (1) instruct…
Does Understanding Inform Generation in Unified Multimodal Models? From Analysis to Path Forward
Yuwei Niu, Weiyang Jin, Jiaqi Liao +7
Recent years have witnessed significant progress in Unified Multimodal Models, yet a fundamental question remains: Does understanding truly inform generation? To investigate this,…
