**Lens** is a **3.8B-parameter** foundational text-to-image model designed for **efficient training** and **fast high-resolution generation**. It combines dense-caption pre-training, mixed-resolution learning, GPT-OSS multi-layer text features, and the FLUX.2 semantic VAE to reach competitive quality with substantially less training compute than larger T2I models.

This repository provides the minimal inference code for generating images from Lens DiT checkpoints.

## Highlights

- **Efficient Foundation** &mdash; Trained on **Lens-800M**, an 800M image-text corpus with long GPT-4.1 captions, maximizing information density per training batch.
- **Compact & Expressive** &mdash; A 48-block MMDiT denoiser leverages FLUX.2 latents and concatenated multi-layer GPT-OSS features for stronger prompt following and multilingual generalization.
- **Flexible Resolution** &mdash; Mixed-resolution training enables inference across aspect ratios from `1:2` to `2:1` and resolutions up to **1440&times;1440**.
- **Post-trained Variants** &mdash; RL tuning improves visual quality and artifact suppression; the distilled **Lens-Turbo** supports fast **4-step** generation.

## Installation

> **Tested environment:** Python 3.12 &middot; CUDA 12.6 &middot; PyTorch 2.11.0+cu126 &middot; TorchVision 0.26.0+cu126

```bash
conda create -n lens python=3.12 -y
conda activate lens

uv pip install torch==2.11.0+cu126 torchvision==0.26.0+cu126 \
    --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu126
uv pip install -r requirements.txt
```

The default GPT-OSS encoder and FLUX.2 VAE are loaded from Hugging Face. Make sure your environment has access to any gated model repositories you use.

## Checkpoints

| Repo | Description | Steps | CFG |
| :--- | :--- | :---: | :---: |
| [`microsoft/Lens`](https://huggingface.co/microsoft/Lens) | **Default.** RL-tuned for visual quality | 20 | 5.0 |
| [`microsoft/Lens-Turbo`](https://huggingface.co/microsoft/Lens-Turbo) | Distilled from the RL model for fast 4-step sampling | 4 | 1.0 |
| [`microsoft/Lens-Base`](https://huggingface.co/microsoft/Lens-Base) | Supervised base model (no RL, no distillation) | 50 | 5.0 |

Pick a variant by passing its repo id to `--repo_id` (CLI) or `LensPipeline.from_pretrained(...)` (Python).

## Inference

> **Important:** run from the cloned repo root so `from lens import LensPipeline` resolves to this package &mdash; importing `lens` is what registers `LensGptOssEncoder` / `LensTransformer2DModel` with the `transformers` and `diffusers` namespaces that `model_index.json` references.

**Python API:**

```python
import torch
from lens import LensPipeline

pipe = LensPipeline.from_pretrained(
    "microsoft/Lens", torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16
).to("cuda")

image = pipe(
    prompt="A cat holding a sign that says \"hello world\"",
    base_resolution=1440, aspect_ratio="1:1",
    num_inference_steps=20, guidance_scale=5.0,
    generator=torch.Generator("cuda").manual_seed(0),
).images[0]
image.save("lens.png")
```

To trade speed for VRAM, replace `.to("cuda")` with `pipe.enable_model_cpu_offload()`.

**CLI &mdash; basic usage:**

```bash
python inference.py \
    --repo_id "microsoft/Lens" \
    --prompt "A cinematic mountain lake at sunrise, soft mist, detailed reflections" \
    --base_resolution 1440 --aspect_ratio 1:1 \
    --steps 20 --cfg 5.0 --n 1 --seed 42 \
    --out ./outputs
```

**Batch generation** &mdash; join multiple prompts with `|`:

```bash
python inference.py \
    --repo_id "microsoft/Lens" \
    --steps 20 --cfg 5.0 \
    --prompt "a red fox in snow|a glass greenhouse at night"
```

**A100 / V100 (no MXFP4 kernels)** &mdash; dequantize the GPT-OSS encoder to bf16:

```bash
python inference.py \
    --repo_id "microsoft/Lens" \
    --steps 20 --cfg 5.0 \
    --prompt "a cat" \
    --disable_mxfp4 --offload
```

### Options

| Flag | Description | Default |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| `--repo_id` | HF repo id (or local path) of the assembled Lens pipeline | `microsoft/Lens` |
| `--base_resolution` | `1024` or `1440` | `1440` |
| `--aspect_ratio` | `1:2`, `9:16`, `2:3`, `3:4`, `1:1`, `4:3`, `3:2`, `16:9`, `2:1` | `1:1` |
| `--steps` | Number of denoising steps | `20` |
| `--cfg` | Classifier-free guidance scale | `5.0` |
| `--n` | Number of images per prompt | `1` |
| `--seed` | Random seed (omit for non-deterministic) | &mdash; |
| `--out` | Output directory | `./outputs` |
| `--dtype` | Compute dtype: `bfloat16`, `float16`, `float32` | `bfloat16` |
| `--disable_mxfp4` | Dequantize the GPT-OSS text encoder to `--dtype` (required on A100 / V100; Hopper+ keeps MXFP4 by default for less VRAM) | &mdash; |
| `--offload` | Enable diffusers CPU offload (`text_encoder->transformer->vae`) to reduce peak VRAM | &mdash; |
| `--reasoner` | Refine prompts with the loaded GPT-OSS encoder before generation | &mdash; |
| `--api_url` / `--api_key` / `--api_model` | Use an OpenAI-compatible API for prompt refinement (takes precedence over `--reasoner`) | &mdash; |

## Responsible AI

The model is released for research purposes only and is not intended for product or service deployment. Responsible AI considerations were incorporated throughout the development process, including data selection, model training, and evaluation.
The training data includes a combination of public, licensed, and internal datasets that were processed to remove clearly identifiable personal information and reduce harmful content where possible. However, as the data is largely sourced from web-scale collections, it may contain biases or uneven representation. As a result, the model may generate outputs that are inaccurate, biased, or inappropriate under certain prompts, including content that could be misleading or raise copyright or IP-related concerns.
Given these limitations, the model should be used in controlled research settings, with appropriate human oversight. Downstream users are responsible for applying additional safeguards, such as content moderation, validation, and compliance checks, before using the model in broader applications.
