Mmada 8B Base

🚀 MMaDA-8B-Base

MMaDA is a novel class of multimodal diffusion foundation models. It excels in diverse domains like textual reasoning, multimodal understanding, and text-to-image generation.

✨ Features

MMaDA is distinguished by three key innovations:

1. MMaDA adopts a unified diffusion architecture with a shared probabilistic formulation and a modality-agnostic design, eliminating the need for modality-specific components.
2. MMaDA introduces a mixed long chain-of-thought (CoT) fine-tuning strategy that curates a unified CoT format across modalities.
3. MMaDA adopts a unified policy-gradient-based RL algorithm, which we call UniGRPO, tailored for diffusion foundation models. Utilizing diversified reward modeling, UniGRPO unifies post-training across both reasoning and generation tasks, ensuring consistent performance improvements.
