How far can we go with ImageNet for Text-to-Image generation?

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

The paper argues that large-scale text‑to‑image models can be trained effectively on ImageNet, provided the dataset is enriched with carefully crafted text and image augmentations. Using this approach, the authors match the performance of state‑of‑the‑art models such as FLUX, surpassing SD3 on GenEval by +5 points and SDXL on DPGBench by +12, while employing only 1/1000th of the training images and significantly fewer parameters. The method requires just 500 hours of H100 GPU time, making it a more reproducible and accessible alternative to massive web‑scraped datasets.

Unified Text-Image Generation with Weakness-Targeted Post-Training

The paper introduces a post‑training approach that enables a single inference process to transition from text reasoning to image synthesis, eliminating the need for explicit modality switching. Using the 14B BAGEL model, the authors demonstrate that targeted post‑training data and reward‑weighted training improve multimodal image generation across four independent T2I benchmarks. The study highlights the benefits of joint text‑image generation and strategic data selection for enhancing T2I performance.

LLaDA-Image: Building Strong Image Generators with Fully Open Training Recipes

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.
