🔥🔥🔥 News!!

Sep 08, 2025: 👋 We release step1x-edit-v1p2-preview, a new version of Step1X-Edit with reasoning edit ability and better performance (report to be released soon), featuring:

Native Reasoning Edit Model: Combines instruction reasoning with reflective correction to handle complex edits more accurately. Performance on KRIS-Bench:

Models	Factual Knowledge ⬆️	Conceptual Knowledge ⬆️	Procedural Knowledge ⬆️	Overall ⬆️
Step1X-Edit v1.1	53.05	54.34	44.66	51.59
Step1x-edit-v1p2-preview	60.49	58.81	41.77	52.51
Step1x-edit-v1p2-preview (thinking)	62.24	62.25	44.43	55.21
Step1x-edit-v1p2-preview (thinking + reflection)	62.94	61.82	44.08	55.64

Improved image editing quality and better instruction-following performance. Performance on GEdit-Bench:

Models	G_SC ⬆️	G_PQ ⬆️	G_O ⬆️	Q_SC ⬆️	Q_PQ ⬆️	Q_O ⬆️
Step1X-Edit (v1.0)	7.13	7.00	6.44	7.39	7.28	7.07
Step1X-Edit (v1.1)	7.66	7.35	6.97	7.65	7.41	7.35
Step1x-edit-v1p2-preview	8.14	7.55	7.42	7.90	7.34	7.40

Step1X-Edit: a unified image editing model performs impressively on various genuine user instructions.

🧩 Model Usages

Install the diffusers package from the following command:

bash

git clone -b dev/MergeV1-2 https://github.com/Peyton-Chen/diffusers.git
cd diffusers
pip install -e .

Here is an example for using the Step1XEditPipelineV1P2 class to edit images with thinking and reflection:

python

import torch
from diffusers import Step1XEditPipelineV1P2
from diffusers.utils import load_image
pipe = Step1XEditPipelineV1P2.from_pretrained("stepfun-ai/Step1X-Edit-v1p2-preview", torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16)
pipe.to("cuda")
print("=== processing image ===")
image = load_image("examples/0000.jpg").convert("RGB")
prompt = "add a ruby ​​pendant on the girl's neck."
enable_thinking_mode=True
enable_reflection_mode=True
pipe_output = pipe(
    image=image,
    prompt=prompt,
    num_inference_steps=28,
    true_cfg_scale=4,
    generator=torch.Generator().manual_seed(42),
    enable_thinking_mode=enable_thinking_mode,
    enable_reflection_mode=enable_reflection_mode,
)
if enable_thinking_mode:
    print("Reformat Prompt:", pipe_output.reformat_prompt)
for image_idx in range(len(pipe_output.images)):
    pipe_output.images[image_idx].save(f"0001-{image_idx}.jpg", lossless=True)
    if enable_reflection_mode:
        print(pipe_output.think_info[image_idx])

The results will look like:

📑 Model introduction

Framework of Step1X-Edit. Step1X-Edit leverages the image understanding capabilities of MLLMs to parse editing instructions and generate editing tokens, which are then decoded into images using a DiT-based network.More details please refer to our technical report.

We release GEdit-Bench as a new benchmark, grounded in real-world usages is developed to support more authentic and comprehensive evaluation. This benchmark, which is carefully curated to reflect actual user editing needs and a wide range of editing scenarios, enables more authentic and comprehensive evaluations of image editing models. Part results of the benchmark are shown below:
