Is it on LLM Arena (Image Arena obv)?\n\nEdit: Just checked and it doesn’t seem like it is.\n\n[18 upvotes] ByteDance is already the leader in AI video generation, so the attempt to move into image generation is not unexpected, as it's a highly interrelated component of the media production pipeline. \n\nBut truly useful image generation is not, contrary to popular belief, just \"dumbing down\" video models or using video models to generate 1 frame. Realistic image generation has long been achieved; today the indexing is on precision, editing, and prompt adherence, and that's historically been a domain dominated by multi-modal LLMs like GPT and Gemini that can utilize vision-based edit loops.\n\nTo compete effectively in frontier image generation, frontier multi-modal modeling capabilities are basically a prerequisite.\n\n[8 upvotes] Not seeing where I can use it. Is it open-source? \n\nThese models are getting so good now that you can get them to generate a frontend and get an LLM to implement. Might be time to get that workflow going. ",
