What is Emu3-Gen?
Emu3-Gen is a groundbreaking multimodal AI model developed by BAAI that revolutionizes the approach to image generation and perception tasks. Unlike traditional models that rely on diffusion or complex architectures, Emu3-Gen achieves state-of-the-art performance using solely next-token prediction, working with tokenized images, text, and videos in a unified discrete space.
Implementation Details
The model employs a transformer-based architecture trained from scratch on multimodal sequences. It processes inputs through a sophisticated tokenization system that converts various media types into a common discrete space, enabling seamless generation across modalities.
- Unified transformer architecture for multiple modalities
- Flash Attention 2 implementation for efficient processing
- Supports flexible resolutions and styles
- Implements classifier-free guidance for enhanced generation
Core Capabilities
- High-quality image generation from text descriptions
- Strong vision-language understanding without CLIP or pretrained LLM dependencies
- Video generation and extension capabilities
- Competitive performance against SDXL, LLaVA-1.6, and OpenSora-1.2
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What makes this model unique?
