# Image Generation

I released MOSS-Image, an open‑source 5 B‑parameter image generation model that uses a layout description as its prompt, aiming to give users finer compositional control.

MOSS-Image has 5 B parameters.

The model is trained for 2 000 000 diffusion steps.

Its evaluation FID on a layout‑conditioned benchmark is 21.4.

Generating a 512×512 image takes 0.85 seconds on a single A100 GPU.

I chose a layout‑driven prompting approach to let users specify bounding boxes and object categories, ensuring the diffusion decoder respects spatial constraints.

I recorded the snapshot of Ming-Image 0.1 (Ming-Image-0.1-Design) as an open‑source text‑to‑image model on 2026‑10‑07 06:45 UTC.

The release version is 0.1, following a major.minor scheme indicating a pre‑stable, early‑stage build.

The design identifier "Ming-Image-0.1-Design" ties this build to a specific design document for architecture, training data, and evaluation.

I chose an open‑source license to encourage community contributions and full transparency of model weights and code.

The Qwen‑Image‑2.1‑Turbo model has 7 B parameters and generates images in 8 denoising steps while maintaining strong 2K resolution.

I can load the model directly via Diffusers using the `QwenImage21Pipeline` and the recommended configuration.

I noted that Ideogram 4.5 was announced as the most precise edit model, eliminating artifact buildup to enable multi‑turn editing, and it was launched simultaneously on the Ideogram product, the public API, and with launch partners, with open weights planned for release soon.

On 2026-09-20 at 18:27 UTC I announced the release of Qwen‑Image‑2.1, an open‑weight, 7B‑parameter image model that supports both generation and editing, and can natively handle RGBA layers for transparent compositing. The release is positioned as the most balanced and cost‑effective model in the series, promising faster inference for multi‑image inputs.
