Add pipeline tag and improve model card metadata

Browse files

Hi! I'm Niels from the community science team at Hugging Face.

I've opened this PR to improve the discoverability of your model. Specifically, I have:
- Added the `pipeline_tag: image-to-image` to the YAML metadata so the model appears in the correct category on the Hub.
- Updated the main image path to use an absolute link so it renders correctly on the model page.
- Maintained the existing tags and license information.

This model card is already very detailed, so I've kept the core content intact while ensuring the metadata meets current Hub standards.

  ## Introduction
28
 
29
- Unified models achieve strong results in text-to-image generation but remain weak in precise editing. This limitation
30
- arises from an *imbalanced division of responsibilities*. The understanding module is usually treated as a translator
31
- that encodes instructions into conditions, while the generation module must act as both designer and painter. The result
32
- is that the generation module carries too much responsibility, even though it is not optimized for complex reasoning.
33
 
34
- To address this, we introduce **Draw-In-Mind (DIM)**, a dataset with two complementary parts:
35
 
36
  - **DIM-T2I**: 14M long-context image–text pairs that strengthen instruction comprehension.
37
  - **DIM-Edit**: 233K chain-of-thought imaginations from GPT-4o that provide explicit design blueprints.
38
 
39
- We connect a frozen **Qwen2.5-VL-3B** with a trainable **SANA1.5-1.6B** via a lightweight MLP, forming
40
- **DIM-4.6B-T2I/Edit**. With this setup, the understanding module takes on the *designer responsibility*, while the
41
- generation module focuses on rendering. Despite its modest size, DIM-4.6B-Edit achieves SOTA or competitive results on
42
- ImgEdit and GEdit-Bench, outperforming much larger models.

  ## Dataset Usage
128
 
129
- ### DIM-T2I
130
-
131
- Not available yet.
132
-
133
  ### DIM-Edit
134
 
135
- Please first download [**DIM-Edit**](https://huggingface.co/datasets/stdKonjac/DIM-Edit) from our 🤗HF repo. You can use
136
- `huggingface-cli` to download it quickly:
137
-
138
- ```
139
- # 1. Install the huggingface hub tools (if not yet installed)
140
- pip install -U huggingface_hub
141
-
142
- # 2. Log in with your Hugging Face account token
143
- huggingface-cli login
144
-
145
- # 3. Download the dataset
146
- huggingface-cli download stdKonjac/DIM-Edit --repo-type dataset --local-dir ./DIM-Edit
147
- ```
148
-
149
- After downloading, navigate into the dataset folder, merge and extract the split archives using the following bash
150
- commands:
151
-
152
- ```
153
- cd DIM-Edit
154
- cat images.tar.gz.part* > images.tar.gz
155
- tar -xvzf images.tar.gz
156
- ```
157
-
158
- In the meantime, you will find a JSONL file named `tos_dataset_edit.jsonl` in the root directory, which records all
159
- image editing samples. Each line in this file corresponds to a single sample containing four fields:
160
-
161
- | Field | Description |
162
- |:----------------------|:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
163
- | **id** | Unique identifier for each sample. |
164
- | **image_path** | Path to the **source** image, beginning with `image/`. |
165
- | **image_path_target** | Path to the **target** image, beginning with `image/`. |
166
- | **prompt** | The CoT-style instruction describing how to transform the source into the target. |
167
-
168
- We recommend using the huggingface `datasets` library to load the dataset efficiently:
169
 
170
  ```python
171
  from datasets import load_dataset, Features, Value
@@ -183,301 +74,45 @@ ds = load_dataset(
183
  features=features,
184
  split="train",

  ## Model Usage
191
 
192
  ### Environment Setup
193
 
194
- Run the following script to set up the Python environment.
195
-
196
- ```
197
  pip install -r requirements.txt
198
  ```
199
 
200

201
-
202
- Please first create a `checkpoints` folder in the root directory:
203
-
204
- ```
205
- mkdir checkpoints
206
- ```
207
-
208
- Then download the models from our 🤗HF repo below, and move them to the `checkpoints` folder.
209
-
210
- *: To facilitate reproducibility, we release [**DIM-4.6B-Edit-Stage1**](https://huggingface.co/stdKonjac/DIM-4.6B-Edit-Stage1), which is trained solely on the **UltraEdit** dataset.
211
- By fine-tuning this checkpoint on our proposed [**DIM-Edit**](https://huggingface.co/datasets/stdKonjac/DIM-Edit) dataset, you should obtain [**DIM-4.6B-Edit**](https://huggingface.co/stdKonjac/DIM-4.6B-Edit).

- To generate images from the jsonl file, run the following script:
251
-
252
- ```
253
- bash scripts/demo_t2i.sh
254
- ```
255
-

271
-
272
- The `image_path` corresponds to the source image, and the `prompt` is the edit instruction. The `image_path_target` is
273
- just a placeholder.
274
-
275
- In `infer/demo_edit.py`, use the `set_designer_gpt` API with your own key to set GPT-4o as the external designer for
276
- optimal performance.
277
-
278
- ```python
279
- # GPT-4o as external designer
280
- model.set_designer_gpt(api_key='')
281
- ```
282
-
283
- You can also use the `set_designer_X` API to set various open-source VLMs as the external designer. The VLMs will be
284
- automatically downloaded to local disk.
285
 
286
  ```python
287
  # Qwen2.5-VL as external designer
288
  model.set_designer_qwen(version='Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-3B-Instruct')
289
- model.set_designer_qwen(version='Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct')

- To generate edited images from the jsonl file, run the following script:
302
 
303
- ```
304
  bash scripts/demo_edit.sh
305
  ```
306
 
307
- The model will first generate a CoT-guided edit instruction for each prompt and save it to
308
- `cache/inference/demo/DIM-4.6B-Edit/tos_dataset_edit_cot_demo_gen.jsonl`. Then the generated images will be saved at
309
- `cache/inference/demo/DIM-4.6B-Edit/{id}_edited.jpg`.
310
-
311
- We also provide a sample GPT-4o generated CoT jsonl file at `cache/demo/tos_dataset_edit_cot_demo.jsonl` for reference.

324
- 2. `tos_dataset_rewritten.jsonl`: LLM-rewritten prompts.
325
-
326
- The `image_path` field in each line of the jsonl is just a
327
- placeholder, please replace it with a pseudo image on your local disk first.
328

22
+ **[2026-01-26]** **DIM** is accepted to ICLR 2026 🎉🎉
23
+
24
  **[2025-10-08]** We release the **DIM-Edit** dataset and the **DIM-4.6B-T2I** / **DIM-4.6B-Edit** models.
25
 
26
  **[2025-09-26]** We upload a new version of the paper, including more results across various designers.
 
29
 
30
  ## Introduction
31
 
32
+ Unified models achieve strong results in text-to-image generation but remain weak in precise editing. This limitation arises from an *imbalanced division of responsibilities*. The understanding module is usually treated as a translator that encodes instructions into conditions, while the generation module must act as both designer and painter.
 
 
 
33
 
34
+ To address this, the paper introduces **Draw-In-Mind (DIM)**, a dataset with two complementary parts:
35
 
36
  - **DIM-T2I**: 14M long-context image–text pairs that strengthen instruction comprehension.
37
  - **DIM-Edit**: 233K chain-of-thought imaginations from GPT-4o that provide explicit design blueprints.
38
 
39
+ The authors connect a frozen **Qwen2.5-VL-3B** with a trainable **SANA1.5-1.6B** via a lightweight MLP, forming **DIM-4.6B-T2I/Edit**. With this setup, the understanding module takes on the *designer responsibility*, while the generation module focuses on rendering. Despite its modest size, DIM-4.6B-Edit achieves SOTA or competitive results on ImgEdit and GEdit-Bench.

  ## Dataset Usage
56
 
 
 
 
 
57
  ### DIM-Edit
58
 
59
+ You can load the [DIM-Edit dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/stdKonjac/DIM-Edit) using the `datasets` library:
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
60
 
61
  ```python
62
  from datasets import load_dataset, Features, Value
 
74
  features=features,
75
  split="train",
76
  )
 
 
77
  ```
78
 
79
  ## Model Usage
80
 
81
  ### Environment Setup
82
 
83
+ ```bash
 
 
84
  pip install -r requirements.txt
85
  ```
86
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
87
  ### Inference
88
 
89
+ The model uses a Chain-of-Thought (CoT) approach where an external "designer" generates a blueprint. In `infer/demo_edit.py`, you can set various open-source VLMs as the external designer:
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
90
 
91
  ```python
92
  # Qwen2.5-VL as external designer
93
  model.set_designer_qwen(version='Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-3B-Instruct')
 
94
 
95
+ # InternVL3.5 as external designer
96
  model.set_designer_internvl(version='OpenGVLab/InternVL3_5-8B-HF')
 
 
 
 
 
 
97
  ```
98
 
99
+ To generate edited images from a jsonl file, run:
100
 
101
+ ```bash
102
  bash scripts/demo_edit.sh
103
  ```
104
