What changed
Trained one transformer on interleaved text and continuous image latents with next-token text loss, image diffusion loss and causal-text/bidirectional-image attention.
Scientific scope
Trained one transformer on interleaved text and continuous image latents with next-token text loss, image diffusion loss and causal-text/bidirectional-image attention. Not first multimodal modeling or diffusion. Acquired delta is the joint recipe/controlled integration, not a claim of information-lossless pixels: image encoding and patch compression remain. Controlled Chameleon-style comparisons are not blanket superiority over every trained model.
Evidence
The linked original sources describe the stated contribution and its evidence limits. WRS has not independently rerun the experiments or certified a proof. Not first multimodal modeling or diffusion. Acquired delta is the joint recipe/controlled integration, not a claim of information-lossless pixels: image encoding and patch compression remain. Controlled Chameleon-style comparisons are not blanket superiority over every trained model.
