STARFlow2: Bridging Language Models and Normalizing Flows for Unified Multimodal Generation

Researchers introduced STARFlow2, a unified multimodal generation model that integrates language models with autoregressive normalizing flows to generate interleaved text and images in a single causal pass. Built on the Pretzel architecture, it preserves pretrained multimodal understanding while enabling high-fidelity continuous image generation and efficient cache-friendly processing. Experiments show STARFlow2 performs strongly on image generation and multimodal understanding benchmarks, solid
