Step1X-Edit: a unified image editing model performs impressively on various genuine user instructions.
Model introduction

Framework of Step1X-Edit. Step1X-Edit leverages the image understanding capabilities of MLLMs to parse editing instructions and generate editing tokens, which are then decoded into images using a DiT-based network.More details please refer to our technical report.
Benchmark
We release GEdit-Bench as a new benchmark, grounded in real-world usages is developed to support more authentic and comprehensive evaluation. This benchmark, which is carefully curated to reflect actual user editing needs and a wide range of editing scenarios, enables more authentic and comprehensive evaluations of image editing models. Part results of the benchmark are shown below:
