Tuna-2 shows that direct pixel embeddings can replace vision encoders in unified multimodal models, achieving competitive generation and stronger understanding at scale.
ILLUME-X is a unified multimodal model that generates free-form interleaved text-image sequences via an expanded data pipeline, progressive self-adaptive training, and ILScore evaluation, claiming outperformance over prior unified models on style transfer, image decomposition, and storytelling.
