Researchers just released Mr. Flow, a training-free framework that accelerates text-to-image models by 9x to 21x. It drafts quickly at low resolution, upscales with subtle noise, and refines high-frequency details in the final step, slashing wait times to around one second without hurting quality.
Researchers just open-sourced Gen-Searcher, a search-augmented agent framework that scours the web for reference images and facts before generating visuals. By grounding diffusion models in real-time retrieval, it tackles visual hallucinations on obscure entities across both open and closed models.
Qwen just introduced Qwen-Image-Edit, a 20B-parameter foundation model built specifically for advanced image and text editing. It can directly modify Chinese and English text inside images while preserving fonts, alongside pulling off full 180-degree novel view synthesis and localized element tweaks. You can already try it inside Qwen Chat.
Alibaba just released Qwen-Image, an open-source 20B MMDiT foundation model built to tackle complex text rendering in both English and Chinese.
