It is rolling out on Jimeng, Doubao, Doubao Work, and Volcengine Ark, with a Pro version planned.
A Raw-injected Transformer restores effective v-prediction and is competitive on ImageNet 256×256.
The pack adds int8 and NVFP4 files plus Qwen encoders, under a license that restricts high-revenue hosted use.
Authors say it matches or beats task-specific baselines on 12 understanding, 4 generation, and one editing benchmark.

New models add GIFs, SVG export and six-second generation time.
WeLM-Image combines text-to-image generation, instruction-guided editing and multi-reference synthesis on a single GPU with MoT backbone and MoE modules, ranking first on PRISM-Bench and Qwen-Image-Bench.
The checkpoint outputs about 16-megapixel images in 6 steps and accepts up to 16 reference images.
LARC reasons over continuous hidden states to fix token bottlenecks, boosting image generation quality and test-time scaling on GenEval.
With 2–4 steps on FLUX.1-dev, Qwen-Image-20B, and Wan2.1-14B, authors report gains over DMD2 and other baselines.
On LlamaGen and RAR, the method beat MaskGIT inpainting FID 6.21 to 10.44 at 13-33% extra compute.
Only the lowest-frequency slot per spatial anchor attends globally; higher-frequency detail stays local.
The authors built Insert World and PhysInsert-Bench and report better fidelity plus a user study on placement and lighting.
The suite has 64 subtasks and 1,150 samples, with MoI-Eval scoring instruction following, quality and detail preservation.
Tests use only the intrinsic dimension of generated images and assume unknown adaptations and model families.
FrameForge models condition-target relationships with Mixture of Temporal Experts and Chain of Temporal Reasoning for superior subject-driven generation.
Cross-paradigm distillation and progressive token corruption are used instead of conventional masked diffusion.
On ImageNet 256, PixelDiT-XL with WiD reports FID 1.53 after 500 epochs, matching prior quality with 37.5% fewer epochs.
Craft plans composition and text, renders up to 2K across more than 30 aspect ratios, and is in Dream Lab and a public API.

Craft is available globally in Dream Lab, outputs up to 2K across more than 30 aspect ratios, and ranks fourth on Design Arena.

Canva Craft plans a layout first, then renders up to 2K in 30 aspect ratios, and is open to all users.
It keeps the image generator frozen and adds user-directed diversity to open and closed models without weight access.
Fine-tuning BAGEL on MindView raises its overall score by 24.3 points and improves all seven tasks.
The 1024 px checkpoint ships two 8-step turbo LoRAs and is presented as a drop-in for MOSS-Image-SFT.
It beats the strongest baseline tokenizer by 2.19 points and FLUX.1-VAE small-text accuracy by 16.93 points.
