From the model card
A Multi-Codebook Diffusion Large Language Model for Omni-Visual Understanding, Image Generation and Editing.
📑 Paper · 🌐 Project Page · 💻 Code
Intern Lumina U2 is a unified multimodal model that brings language, image, video and 3D into a single framework, covering text QA, text-to-image generation, image understanding, image editing, video understanding and 3D understanding with one model. It is a 16B-parameter MoE with 1B active parameters (16B-A1B), pairing an efficient sparse backbone with an 8-codebook fully-discrete visual representation built on AToken.
