Janus Pro

What it does

Janus Pro AI is a unified multimodal understanding and generation model developed by Deepseek. It is an advanced version of Janus, incorporating an optimized training strategy, expanded training data, and scaling to a larger model size. Janus Pro AI excels in both multimodal understanding and text-to-image instruction-following capabilities, while also enhancing the stability of text-to-image generation. It supports bidirectional image understanding and generation via an autoregressive framework with a unified Transformer architecture.

How to use: Janus Pro AI can be used through its open-source models hosted on Hugging Face and GitHub. Users can download the 1B or 7B parameter variants and customize them for specific applications. It can also be tested via web browser using WebGPU. For image generation, users can input text prompts, and for multimodal understanding, it can process images and text together.
