Awesome Unified Multimodal Models

This is a repository for organizing papers, codes and other resources related to unified multimodal models.

🤔 What are unified multimodal models?

Traditional multimodal models can be broadly categorized into two types: multimodal understanding and multimodal generation. Unified multimodal models aim to integrate these two tasks within a single framework. Such models are also referred to as Any-to-Any generation in the community. These models operate on the principle of multimodal input and multimodal output, enabling them to process and generate content across various modalities seamlessly.
