SenseTime has open-sourced SenseNova U1.5 Lite (5.6k GitHub stars, includes ComfyUI integration and training code). It's a lightweight 8B unified multimodal model covering visual understanding, generation and editing:
- Native 2K/4K high-resolution output with better detail, composition and realism
- Improved complex instruction following across subjects, counts, text, layouts and styles
- Enhanced Chinese/English text rendering and multi-text layout for posters, infographics and brand assets
- Precise editing and control via visual markers, bounding boxes and multi-image references
The company claims it outperforms same-size models in instruction following and editing preservation while competing with large commercial models in text rendering.
