Overview

  • Introduces QLIP (Quantized Language-Image Pre-training) system for unified multimodal AI
  • Creates visual tokens aligned with text tokens for better image-text understanding
  • Combines vision and language tasks in a single model architecture
  • Achieves state-of-the-art results on image understanding and generation
  • Uses an autoregressive approach for both understanding and creating visual content
