Unified multimodal models seek a shared visual token space that supports both multimodal understanding and image generation. Discrete methods unify the interface via a shared codebook, whereas continuous pipelines often rely on two disparate representations -- semantic features (…

Unified Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) offer a promising paradigm for unifying visual understanding and generation, yet they still struggle to follow complex spatial instructions and logical constraints in controllable image generation. To address this gap, we present A…

Achieving true artificial general intelligence requires foundation models capable of integrating new modalities without forgetting prior knowledge. However, accommodating continuous generative objectives alongside discrete understanding tasks causes severe gradient conflicts. Exi…

Visual generative models are typically trained in two stages. A tokenizer is first trained for reconstruction and then frozen, after which a generator is trained on its discrete indices or continuous latents. This decoupling leaves the tokenizer unaware of what the generator find…
