arXiv:2608. 20334v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present Swift-Image, a compact unified model for text-to-image generation, single-image editing, and multi-image editing.
Swift-Image is a compact unified model that performs text-to-image generation, single-image editing, and multi-image editing using a 6B parameter DiT architecture. It employs a progressive training pipeline, parallel expert reinforcement learning, and multi-teacher distillation to balance diverse objectives, while a Prompt Enhancer decouples high-level reasoning from pixel-level rendering. After training, structural pruning and few-step distillation produce efficient 3B and accelerated variants that maintain near‑lossless performance and improve editing efficiency.
SenseNova-U1.5 is an 8B‑MoT native unified multimodal model that can understand, reason about, and generate visual content without using an encoder or VAE. It improves visual fidelity and text rendering through spatially coherent patch reconstruction, large‑scale training on curated generation and editing data, and native resolutions up to 4K. Post‑training, specialized experts for visual aesthetics, bilingual text rendering, infographic generation, and image editing are optimized and distilled into a multi‑expert framework, yielding advances in image fidelity, complex composition, multi‑reference editing, and instruction following.
MT Forcing introduces a training paradigm for multi‑turn image editing with unified multimodal models based on autoregressive diffusion. It combines Single‑Turn Distribution Matching Distillation, which guides student rollouts with a teacher that applies all edits in one step, and Teacher‑Forcing Guidance, which supervises history‑dependent transitions to promote cross‑turn consistency. Experiments show the method yields more stable visual quality and stronger consistency across editing turns.

arXiv:2507. 17853v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent advances in text-to-image (T2I) generation have led to impressive visual results.
We present Swift-Image, a compact unified model for text-to-image generation, single-image editing, and multi-image editing. Our goal is to explore how far a relatively small visual generator can be pushed through systematic training engineering under a constrained computational budget.
arXiv:2608. 09226v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Efficient text-to-image generation requires both reinforcement-learning (RL)-based reward alignment and few-step distillation, yet these procedures are typically performed sequentially, increasing training cost and risking the loss of reward gains during compression.
FocusOPD introduces a structure‑guided on‑policy distillation method that adds token‑wise directional feature alignment to deep Transformer layers during early denoising steps. This approach addresses the mismatch between teacher and student representations that persists after standard OPD distillation. Experiments on rectified‑flow backbones show that FocusOPD improves performance on GenEval, PickScore, and LAION‑Aesthetic benchmarks, and ablations confirm that selective deep and early supervision is more effective than full‑network alignment.
Efficient text-to-image generation requires both reinforcement-learning (RL)-based reward alignment and few-step distillation, yet these procedures are typically performed sequentially, increasing training cost and risking the loss of reward gains during compression. We instead take an RL-native perspective: diffusion RL already generates reward-scored finite-step trajectories, whose intermediate states provide a natural source of distillation supervision rather than a disposable byproduct of sampling.
