ROMS-IMLE: A Minimalist Approach to Competitive Single-Step Generative Modelling

Read the original on Hugging Face Trending Papers →

Generative models have undergone many generations of evolution, from VAEs/GANs to diffusion/flow matching. Along the way, the underlying techniques have become more complicated and various beliefs about what drives strong empirical performance have taken hold.

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.
