VisionWeave introduces elastic visual representation weaving, a native capability for multimodal large language models that learns where and at what granularity to encode visual information. The method combines a gated spatial pooler for coarse representations with a granularity router that allocates content‑adaptive token usage, trained end‑to‑end on large‑scale data. Experiments on Qwen3.5‑4B and Qwen3.8‑27B show that VisionWeave can save 43.0% of tokens while preserving 98.9% of performance across eight benchmarks, and delivers significant throughput gains and latency reductions when deployed on the SGLang serving engine.

Intern Lumina U2 is a diffusion large language model that uses multi-codebook visual tokens in a fully discrete space, allowing each visual position to be represented by a group of complementary codes. The model concatenates embeddings at each position and employs a lightweight autoregressive head to predict codes sequentially while the diffusion backbone processes all positions in parallel. Built on the unified 4D representation of AToken, it supports image, video, and 3D inputs, achieves leading performance in visual understanding, image generation, and editing, and includes a cross‑platform training, inference, and evaluation system with a stability‑aware sampling strategy that speeds up image generation by 4.45×.
