Abstract

This paper presents improved native unified multimodal models, \emph{i.e.,} Show-o2, that leverage autoregressive modeling and flow matching. Built upon a 3D causal variational autoencoder space, unified visual representations are constructed through a dual-path of spatial (-temporal) fusion, enabling scalability across image and video modalities while ensuring effective multimodal understanding and generation. Based on a language model, autoregressive modeling and flow matching are natively applied to the language head and flow head, respectively, to facilitate text token prediction and image/video generation. A two-stage training recipe is designed to effectively learn and scale to larger models. The resulting Show-o2 models demonstrate versatility in handling a wide range of multimodal understanding and generation tasks across diverse modalities, including text, images, and videos. Code and models are released at this https URL .

What is the new about Show-o2?

We perform the unified learning of multimodal understanding and generation on the text token and 3D Causal VAE space, which is scalable for text, image, and video modalities. A dual-path of spatial (-temporal) fusion is proposed to accommodate the distinct feature dependency of multimodal understanding and generation. We employ specific heads with autoregressive modeling and flow matching for the overall unified learning of multimodal understanding, image/video and mixed-modality generation.
