Model overview

omost is a project that aims to convert the coding capability of large language models (LLMs) into the ability to generate and compose visual content. The name omost (pronounced "almost") reflects the idea that the model's image generation is "almost there" after each use, and that it aims to get the "most" out of multi-modal (or "omni") capabilities.

omost provides pre-trained LLM models based on variations of LLaMA-3 and Phi-3 that can write code to compose visual content using a virtual "Canvas" agent. This Canvas can then be rendered by specific image generation implementations to produce the final images.

The models are trained on a mix of data, including ground-truth annotations, automatically extracted data, reinforcement from DPO (Direct Preference Optimization), and a small amount of tuning data from OpenAI's GPT-4. This allows the models to learn the skills necessary to translate LLM capabilities into image generation.

Similar models like sdxl-lightning-4step, internlm-xcomposer, stable-diffusion, cogvlm, and lcm-sdxl also aim to combine language and vision capabilities, but with different approaches and focus areas.

Model inputs and outputs

Inputs

Prompt: The input text prompt that the model will use to generate the image content.
Seed: A random seed value to ensure reproducible results.
Top P: The percentage of the most likely tokens to sample from during text generation.
Temperature: A value that adjusts the randomness of the output, with higher values being more random.
Guidance Scale: A scale factor for classifier-free guidance, which can improve the quality of the generated images.
Max New Tokens: The maximum number of tokens to generate in the output.
Negative Prompt: Text that specifies things the model should not include in the output image.
Image Width and Height: The desired dimensions of the output image.
