Tuna-2 shows that direct pixel embeddings can replace vision encoders in unified multimodal models, achieving competitive generation and stronger understanding at scale.
SenseNova-U1 presents native unified multimodal models that match top understanding VLMs while delivering strong performance in image generation, infographics, and interleaved tasks via the NEO-unify architecture.
GenLIP pretrains ViTs to generate language tokens from visual tokens via autoregressive language modeling, matching strong baselines on multimodal tasks with less data.
