AI Toolkit author trains AR-diffusion hybrid image model in 24 hours on a single RTX 6000 Pro

AI Toolkit author Ostris hacked together an autoregressive/diffusion hybrid image model, similar to YuE2's approach: Qwen3-VL-4B generates codes for the whole image, and the hidden states of those codes are the only conditioning for a frozen BFL Klein 4B diffusion decoder. After just 24 hours on a single RTX 6000 Pro, it's learning shockingly fast.
