# GLM-Image
## Overview
GLM-Image is an image generation model adopts a hybrid autoregressive + diffusion decoder architecture, effectively pushing the upper bound of visual fidelity and fine-grained details. In general image generation quality, it aligns with industry-standard LDM-based approaches, while demonstrating significant advantages in knowledge-intensive image generation scenarios.
Model architecture: a hybrid autoregressive + diffusion decoder design、
+ Autoregressive generator: a 9B-parameter model initialized from [GLM-4-9B-0414](https://huggingface.co/zai-org/GLM-4-9B-0414), with an expanded vocabulary to incorporate visual tokens. The model first generates a compact encoding of approximately 256 tokens, then expands to 1K–4K tokens, corresponding to 1K–2K high-resolution image outputs. You can check AR model in class `GlmImageForConditionalGeneration` of `transformers` library.
+ Diffusion Decoder: a 7B-parameter decoder based on a single-stream DiT architecture for latent-space image decoding. It is equipped with a Glyph Encoder text module, significantly improving accurate text rendering within images.
Post-training with decoupled reinforcement learning: the model introduces a fine-grained, modular feedback strategy using the GRPO algorithm, substantially enhancing both semantic understanding and visual detail quality.
+ Autoregressive module: provides low-frequency feedback signals focused on aesthetics and semantic alignment, improving instruction following and artistic expressiveness.
+ Decoder module: delivers high-frequency feedback targeting detail fidelity and text accuracy, resulting in highly realistic textures, lighting, and color reproduction, as well as more precise text rendering.
GLM-Image supports both text-to-image and image-to-image generation within a single model
+ Text-to-image: generates high-detail images from textual descriptions, with particularly strong performance in information-dense scenarios.
+ Image-to-image: supports a wide range of tasks, including image editing, style transfer, multi-subject consistency, and identity-preserving generation for people and objects.

## Usage examples
### Text to Image Generation
```python
import torch
from diffusers.pipelines.glm_image import GlmImagePipeline
pipe = GlmImagePipeline.from_pretrained("zai-org/GLM-Image",torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,device_map="cuda")
prompt = "A beautifully designed modern food magazine style dessert recipe illustration, themed around a raspberry mousse cake. The overall layout is clean and bright, divided into four main areas: the top left features a bold black title 'Raspberry Mousse Cake Recipe Guide', with a soft-lit close-up photo of the finished cake on the right, showcasing a light pink cake adorned with fresh raspberries and mint leaves; the bottom left contains an ingredient list section, titled 'Ingredients' in a simple font, listing 'Flour 150g', 'Eggs 3', 'Sugar 120g', 'Raspberry puree 200g', 'Gelatin sheets 10g', 'Whipping cream 300ml', and 'Fresh raspberries', each accompanied by minimalist line icons (like a flour bag, eggs, sugar jar, etc.); the bottom right displays four equally sized step boxes, each containing high-definition macro photos and corresponding instructions, arranged from top to bottom as follows: Step 1 shows a whisk whipping white foam (with the instruction 'Whip egg whites to stiff peaks'), Step 2 shows a red-and-white mixture being folded with a spatula (with the instruction 'Gently fold in the puree and batter'), Step 3 shows pink liquid being poured into a round mold (with the instruction 'Pour into mold and chill for 4 hours'), Step 4 shows the finished cake decorated with raspberries and mint leaves (with the instruction 'Decorate with raspberries and mint'); a light brown information bar runs along the bottom edge, with icons on the left representing 'Preparation time: 30 minutes', 'Cooking time: 20 minutes', and 'Servings: 8'. The overall color scheme is dominated by creamy white and light pink, with a subtle paper texture in the background, featuring compact and orderly text and image layout with clear information hierarchy."
image = pipe(
prompt=prompt,
height=32 * 32,
width=36 * 32,
num_inference_steps=30,
guidance_scale=1.5,
generator=torch.Generator(device="cuda").manual_seed(42),
).images[0]
image.save("output_t2i.png")
```
### Image to Image Generation
```python
import torch
from diffusers.pipelines.glm_image import GlmImagePipeline
from PIL import Image
pipe = GlmImagePipeline.from_pretrained("zai-org/GLM-Image",torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,device_map="cuda")
image_path = "cond.jpg"
prompt = "Replace the background of the snow forest with an underground station featuring an automatic escalator."
image = Image.open(image_path).convert("RGB")
image = pipe(
prompt=prompt,
image=[image], # can input multiple images for multi-image-to-image generation such as [image, image1]
height=33 * 32,
width=32 * 32,
num_inference_steps=30,
guidance_scale=1.5,
generator=torch.Generator(device="cuda").manual_seed(42),
).images[0]
image.save("output_i2i.png")
```
+ Since the AR model used in GLM-Image is configured with `do_sample=True` and a temperature of `0.95` by default, the generated images can vary significantly across runs. We do not recommend setting do_sample=False, as this may lead to incorrect or degenerate outputs from the AR model.
