Janus-1.3B

2024.10.20: We have uploaded the correct tokenizer_config.json. The previous file was missing the pad_token, which caused poor visual generation results.

Janus is a novel autoregressive framework that unifies multimodal understanding and generation. It addresses the limitations of previous approaches by decoupling visual encoding into separate pathways, while still utilizing a single, unified transformer architecture for processing. The decoupling not only alleviates the conflict between the visual encoder’s roles in understanding and generation, but also enhances the framework’s flexibility. Janus surpasses previous unified model and matches or exceeds the performance of task-specific models. The simplicity, high flexibility, and effectiveness of Janus make it a strong candidate for next-generation unified multimodal models.

Janus is a unified understanding and generation MLLM, which decouples visual encoding for multimodal understanding and generation. Janus is constructed based on the DeepSeek-LLM-1.3b-base which is trained on an approximate corpus of 500B text tokens. For multimodal understanding, it uses the SigLIP-L as the vision encoder, which supports 384 x 384 image input. For image generation, Janus uses the tokenizer from here with a downsample rate of 16.
