SenseTime has open-sourced the SenseNova U1.5 Lite model. This is an 8B parameter native unified multimodal model designed for visual understanding, generation, and editing.
Key Features:
- Long Context: Natively supports 3-4k text instructions, preserving details.
- High Resolution: Supports native 2K/4K generation.
- Precise Editing: Enables precise control via visual markers, bounding boxes, and multi-image references.
- Unified Architecture: A single 8B model without a bloated router architecture.
