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

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 3, 2026 · UTC

We introduce LLaDA-Image, a unified framework that pairs a 6B Diffusion Transformer (DiT) trained from scratch with a frozen vision-language understanding module built on the LLaDA2.0-Mini diffusion language model backbone. Instead of relying heavily on paired image-text data from the beginning, we first build a strong visual generative prior through image-only pre-training and mid-training. The generation pipeline comprises 220M samples, 98 of which are real images. For efficient and scalable optimization, we use parameter-free RMSNorm throughout the DiT together with the Muon optimizer. The
