Alibaba's Swift-Image 6B: one compact model for generation and editing
Swift-Image packs text-to-image generation plus single- and multi-image editing into a single 6B set of weights, scoring top among open-source models on editing benchmarks with just 243K GPU-hours of training. Structural pruning yields a near-lossless 3B variant that still leads. Speculation is that Alibaba may ship it as a fully open model.
