Kunlun open-sources Skywork UniPic, a 1.5B-parameter multimodal model integrating image understanding, generation, and editing. It unifies multimodal tasks with end-to-end pretraining, offering strong performance comparable to larger models.....

Kunlun Wildfire releases the open-source multimodal pre-training model Skywork UniPic, integrating three functions: image understanding, text-to-image generation, and image editing. The model uses an autoregressive training approach, trained on large-scale high-quality data, and has strong generalization and transfer capabilities. Its open-source nature facilitates secondary innovation by developers and can be widely applied in content creation and industry scenarios. This is a significant move by Kunlun Wildfire in the AI field, which will promote the development and popularization of multimodal technology.

On July 30, Kunlun Infinite officially launched and open-sourced the autoregressive multi-modal unified pre-training model Skywork UniPic. The model integrates three core capabilities - image understanding, text-to-image generation, and image editing - in a single architecture. It demonstrates excellent generality and transferability through end-to-end pre-training on large-scale high-quality data.

Large Language Models (LLMs) have achieved significant progress in complex reasoning tasks by combining task prompts with large-scale reinforcement learning (RL), as demonstrated by models like Deepseek-R1-Zero, which directly apply reinforcement learning to base models, showcasing strong reasoning capabilities. However, this success is difficult to replicate across different base model families, especially within the Llama series. This raises a core question: what factors lead to inconsistent performance of different base models during reinforcement learning? How does reinforcement learning perform in
