LLaDA-Image is a unified framework that couples a 6B Diffusion Transformer (DiT) trained from scratch with a frozen vision‑language module based on the LLaDA2.0‑Mini diffusion language model. The approach first builds a strong visual generative prior through image‑only pre‑training and mid‑training, then fine‑tunes with a 220M‑sample generation pipeline that includes 98 real images. The resulting model produces highly photorealistic images that accurately follow fine‑grained editing instructions, and a distilled version, LLaDA‑Image‑Turbo, enables fast inference in 2–4 sampling steps. On Qwen‑Image‑Bench, LLaDA‑Image sets new state‑of‑the‑art scores for open‑source models in both English and Chinese tracks, and the authors release weights, code, and detailed recipes to support further research.

The paper introduces a novel compression framework for image-to-shape Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) that significantly reduces model size while preserving geometric fidelity. By exploiting the non-uniform importance of 3D DiT layers, the authors combine structured pruning, adaptive quantization, and targeted fine‑tuning into a vitality‑guided approach. The method achieves up to a 66% reduction in model size across state‑of‑the‑art image‑to‑3D models without compromising synthesis quality, offering a plug‑and‑play solution for efficient 3D shape generation.

Recent advances in diffusion models have shown impressive performance in controllable image generation and dense prediction tasks. However, existing approaches typically treat diffusion-based controllable generation and dense prediction as separate tasks, overlooking the potential benefits of jointly modeling the heterogeneous distributions.

Unified image restoration (UIR) aims to recover high-quality (HQ) content from low-quality (LQ) images with different degradations using a single model. Most recent methods adapt large pretrained text-to-image (T2I) latent diffusion models for their strong capacity and generative priors.
