Generative models that run at any compute budget. BudgetAny collects open-source implementations of compute-adaptive ("budget") tokenization. A generative model is fine-tuned so that one checkpoint runs on a variable number of tokens, chosen at inference: detailed content keeps fine tokens, simple content is merged into coarse ones, and compute and memory fall with the token count.
Unofficial, open-source implementation. The method comes from BudgetPix: Compute-Adaptive Tokenization for Pixel-Space Image Diffusion (Kara et al., 2026). The code and models here are a community reimplementation and extension of it, not an official release, and BudgetAny is not a company, a lab or a formal organisation: the name only groups the repositories.
