Qwen VLo: From "Understanding" the World to "Depicting" It

Summary

QWEN CHAT DISCORDIntroduction#The evolution of multimodal large models is continually pushing the boundaries of what we believe technology can achieve. From the initial QwenVL to the latest Qwen2.5 VL, we have made progress in enhancing the model’s ability to understand image content. Today, we are excited to introduce a new model, Qwen VLo, a unified multimodal understanding and generation model. This newly upgraded model not only “understands” the world but also generates high-quality recreations based on that understanding, truly bridging the gap between perception and creation. Note that this is a preview version and you can access it through Qwen Chat. You can directly send a prompt like “Generate a picture of a cute cat” to generate an image or upload an image of a cat and ask “Add a cap on the cat’s head” to modify an image. The image generation process is shown below.The Creative Process: Turn Your Imagination Into RealityAs demonstrated in the video showcasing the generative process, Qwen VLo employs a progressive generation method, gradually constructing the entire image from left to right and top to bottom. During this process, the model continuously refines and optimizes its predictions to ensure that the final result is coherent and harmonious. This generative mechanism not only enhances visual quality but also provides users with a more flexible and controllable creative experience.From Understanding to Creation: Enhanced Multimodal Generation Capabilities#Qwen VLo has undergone a comprehensive upgrade in both its original multimodal understanding and generation capabilities. It significantly deepens its comprehension of image content and achieves more accurate and consistent generation results. Below are the core highlights of Qwen VLo:More Precise Content Understanding and RecreationPrevious multimodal models often struggled with semantic inconsistencies during the generation process, such as misinterpreting a car as another object or failing to reta...
