Microsoft removes Mage Flow and points to a more efficient Qwen-VL-class encoder
Dante_77A · reddit · 2026-07-29
Microsoft has removed Mage Flow, but the post says the team is working on a new text encoder that is more efficient than Qwen-VL.
The implication is that Mage Flow may return with a better, more polished implementation once the new encoder is ready. The post links to an arXiv paper and frames the encoder work as the key technical piece behind that plan.
