LLaDA-Image: Building Strong Image Generators with Fully Open Training Recipes

Welcome to the official repository for LLaDA-Image, a unified model for high-quality image generation and editing.

Photorealistic image generation with natural lighting, lifelike details, and coherent scenes.

High-quality text rendering and creative poster generation across diverse visual styles.

Instruction-guided image editing with faithful content preservation and precise visual changes.

Introduction

LLaDA-Image is a competitive 6B-parameter open-source unified image generation and editing model family. It includes LLaDA-Image, a 50-step Base model for high-quality text-to-image generation and instruction-guided editing, and LLaDA-Image-Turbo, a 4-step distilled model for fast generation and editing. Both variants support practical text-to-image generation, VQ-conditioned generation, reference-image editing, and Chinese--English text rendering.

This repository provides the checkpoints and Diffusers-based inference code for the LLaDA-Image model family.

News

2026-09-04: We released the LLaDA-Image Base and Turbo checkpoints together with the inference code.

Highlights

Unified generation and editing. A single checkpoint supports text-to-image generation and reference-preserving, instruction-guided editing without a separate editing backbone.

Unified diffusion model. Both backone and DiT are diffusion models, trained in a unified framework.

Realistic image generation. LLaDA-Image produces high-quality images with rich visual details, natural lighting, and coherent compositions.

Image-only pre-training for visual-prior learning. The report establishes the visual prior through image-only pre-training and mid-training before introducing paired language supervision and joint generation--editing training.

Efficient inference with distilled model. LLaDA-Image-Turbo uses Twin-DMD distillation to deliver fast image generation and editing in only 2--4 sampling steps.

SOTA on Qwen-Image-Bench. LLaDA-Image achieves state-of-the-art overall scores of 53.53 in English and 53.38 in Chinese.

Quick Start

1. Create an environment

The implementation has been used with Python 3.11, PyTorch 2.8, Transformers 4.57.6, and Diffusers 0.39.0.

git clone https://github.com/inclusionAI/LLaDA-Image.git cd LLaDA-Image

conda create -n llada-image python=3.11 -y conda activate llada-image

pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Run inference

The pipeline accepts a prompt and, for editing, an optional reference image.

LLaDA-Image (Base)

Use the Base checkpoint for high-fidelity generation and editing. Its recommended sampling configuration is 50 steps.

import torch

from src import LLaDAImagePipeline

# Load the pipeline. The model is downloaded from Hugging Face on first use. pipe = LLaDAImagePipeline.from_pretrained( "inclusionAI/LLaDA-Image", torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, device="cuda", )

# Generate an image. prompt = ( "A cinematic photograph of a red fox standing in fresh snow, " "soft winter light, detailed fur, shallow depth of field" ) negative_prompt = ""

image = pipe( prompt=prompt, negative_prompt=negative_prompt, generation_mode="text", height=1024, width=1024, num_inference_steps=50, guidance_scale=5.0, generator=torch.Generator("cuda").manual_seed(42), ).images[0]

image.save("llada-image-base.png")

LLaDA-Image-Turbo

Use the Turbo checkpoint for fast generation and editing. Its recommended sampling configuration is 4 steps.

import torch

from src import LLaDAImagePipeline

# Load the distilled Turbo checkpoint. pipe = LLaDAImagePipeline.from_pretrained( "inclusionAI/LLaDA-Image-Turbo", torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, device="cuda", )

prompt = "A quiet observatory above a sea of clouds at sunrise, golden light, wide-angle photograph"

image = pipe( prompt=prompt, generation_mode="text", height=1024, width=1024, num_inference_steps=4, guidance_scale=1.0, generator=torch.Generator("cuda").manual_seed(42), ).images[0]

image.save("llada-image-turbo.png")

Generation modes

Both checkpoints support the following modes. Text and VQ-conditioned generation require height and width divisible by 16; image editing requires dimensions divisible by 32.

VQ-conditioned generation uses the LLaDA2 model to produce image VQ tokens from the prompt, which SigVQ embeds before diffusion. Do not provide an input image in VQ mode.

image = pipe( prompt="A quiet observatory above a sea of clouds at sunrise", generation_mode="vq", height=1024, width=1024, num_inference_steps=50, # Use 4 for LLaDA-Image-Turbo. guidance_scale=5.0, # Use 1.0 for few-step inference. generator=torch.Generator("cuda").manual_seed(42), ).images[0]

Image editing requires a reference image:

from diffusers.utils import load_image

reference_image = load_image("/path/to/input.png") image = pipe( prompt="Turn it into a watercolor painting", image=reference_image, generation_mode="editing", height=1024, width=1024, num_inference_steps=50, # Use 4 for LLaDA-Image-Turbo. guidance_scale=5.0, # Use 1.0 for few-step inference. generator=torch.Generator("cuda").manual_seed(43), ).images[0]
