Researchers introduce Parallel Decoding Distillation (PDD), a trajectory-based distillation method that accelerates diffusion and flow matching models by predicting multiple denoising steps per network evaluation, achieving state-of-the-art performance at 4-8 NFE. Unlike prior methods relying on variational score distillation and adversarial losses, PDD avoids mode collapse and improves generated video diversity. The method is validated on LTX-2.3 Text-to-Video/Audio, Wan 14B Text-to-Video, and Qwen-Image Text-to-Image models.
Researchers propose a training framework for detecting pixel-level image tampering in content generated by modern vision-language models such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and Qwen-Image. The approach combines balanced minibatch sampling and a late-injection strategy to improve out-of-distribution robustness without overfitting to limited new-domain data. The framework outperforms the prior state-of-the-art PIXAR method by 26.1% and 26.8% relative improvement in gIoU and cIoU respectively, evaluated on OOD VLMs including GPT-Images-2.0, Gemini-3.1, FLUX.2, and Seedream 4.5. The work is directly motivated by the growing difficulty of detecting AI-generated image manipulations as generation quality improves.
Alibaba's Qwen team has released Qwen-Image, a 20B parameter MMDiT (Multimodal Diffusion Transformer) image generation foundation model. The model claims significant advances in complex text rendering capabilities, including multi-line layouts, paragraph-level semantics, and fine-grained typographic details across alphabetic and other language scripts. It also features precise image editing capabilities and is accessible via Qwen Chat and open-weight repositories on HuggingFace and ModelScope.
Alibaba's Qwen team has released Qwen-Image-Edit, a 20B-parameter image editing model built on the Qwen-Image foundation. The model extends Qwen-Image's text rendering capabilities to editing tasks, enabling precise in-image text modification. It uses a dual-path architecture that simultaneously feeds input images into Qwen2.5-VL for semantic control and a VAE Encoder for appearance control, enabling both semantic and appearance-level edits.
