News

2025.01.27: Janus-Pro is released, an advanced version of Janus, improving both multimodal understanding and visual generation significantly. See paper

2024.11.13: JanusFlow is released, a new unified model with rectified flow for image generation. See paper, demo and usage.

2024.10.23: Evaluation code for reproducing the multimodal understanding results from the paper has been added to VLMEvalKit. Please refer to this link.

2024.10.20: (1) Fix a bug in tokenizer_config.json. The previous version caused classifier-free guidance to not function properly, resulting in relatively poor visual generation quality. (2) Release Gradio demo (online demo and local).

1. Introduction

Janus-Pro: Unified Multimodal Understanding and Generation with Data and Model Scaling

Janus-Pro is an advanced version of the previous work Janus. Specifically, Janus-Pro incorporates (1) an optimized training strategy, (2) expanded training data, and (3) scaling to larger model size. With these improvements, Janus-Pro achieves significant advancements in both multimodal understanding and text-to-image instruction-following capabilities, while also enhancing the stability of text-to-image generation.

Janus: Decoupling Visual Encoding for Unified Multimodal Understanding and Generation

Janus is a novel autoregressive framework that unifies multimodal understanding and generation. It addresses the limitations of previous approaches by decoupling visual encoding into separate pathways, while still utilizing a single, unified transformer architecture for processing. The decoupling not only alleviates the conflict between the visual encoder’s roles in understanding and generation, but also enhances the framework’s flexibility. Janus surpasses previous unified model and matches or exceeds the performance of task-specific models. The simplicity, high flexibility, and effectiveness of Janus make it a strong candidate for next-generation unified multimodal models.

JanusFlow: Harmonizing Autoregression and Rectified Flow for Unified Multimodal Understanding and Generation

JanusFlow introduces a minimalist architecture that integrates autoregressive language models with rectified flow, a state-of-the-art method in generative modeling. Our key finding demonstrates that rectified flow can be straightforwardly trained within the large language model framework, eliminating the need for complex architectural modifications. Extensive experiments show that JanusFlow achieves comparable or superior performance to specialized models in their respective domains, while significantly outperforming existing unified approaches across standard benchmarks. This work represents a step toward more efficient and versatile vision-language models.

Searching Database…

17.8K ·GitHub
What is this?Janus is DeepSeek's family of open multimodal AI models (Janus, Janus-Pro, JanusFlow). One model both understands images and text and generates images from a text prompt.
Is it one model that both understands and generates images?Yes, a single unified transformer: Janus decouples visual encoding into separate pathways for understanding vs. generation, and JanusFlow pairs an autoregressive LLM with rectified flow.
How do I get it running?Set up Python 3.8+, install the repo dependencies, download weights from Hugging Face (e.g. 'deepseek-ai/Janus-Pro-7B'), then run the inference examples — or start with the online demo.
Is this meant for researchers, or can anyone play with it?Mainly a research release — DeepSeek targets academic and commercial research communities with papers and eval code — but anyone can try the Gradio demos or run the inference examples.
Can I use it commercially?Yes. The README explicitly allows commercial usage under its license terms, and the repo is MIT-licensed.
What's the difference between Janus, Janus-Pro, and JanusFlow?Janus is the original unified autoregressive framework. Janus-Pro upgrades it with an optimized training strategy, more training data and larger models, improving both understanding and text-to-image quality. JanusFlow is a separate minimalist model combining an autoregressive LLM with rectified flow.
Which model sizes can I download?Four checkpoints are on Hugging Face: Janus-1.3B, JanusFlow-1.3B, Janus-Pro-1B and Janus-Pro-7B, all with a 4096 sequence length. Janus-Pro-7B is the most capable.
Can I serve it as an API instead of a Gradio page?Yes — the repo ships a FastAPI demo that hosts the same functions as the Gradio demo; start the server and test it from another terminal.
What can it actually do with an image as input?Understanding tasks, like reading a formula from an image and returning LaTeX code; on the generation side it turns a text prompt into an image.
