Cache-to-Cache: Direct Semantic Communication Between Large Language Models

Cache-to-Cache (C2C) lets large language models talk directly through memory, not words. This new method keeps more meaning and cuts down delays. It beats text-based exchanges in both accuracy and speed, showing up to 10.5% better answers and double the speed, making AI teamwork much more efficient.

Ming-UniVision: Joint Image Understanding and Generation with a Unified Continuous Tokenizer

Ming-UniVision introduces MingTok, a new visual tokenizer that uses continuous signals instead of fixed word-like tokens. This lets AI better understand and generate images using one system. By blending detailed meaning with low-level visuals, it reaches top performance in both tasks and supports smooth, multi-step image editing and comprehension.

Lumina-DiMOO: An Omni Diffusion Large Language Model for Multi-Modal Generation and Understanding

Lumina-DiMOO is a new open-source AI model that handles images and text using a special “diffusion” method for faster, smarter results. Unlike older models, it fully uses discrete steps to generate and understand images. It outperforms other multi-modal tools in tasks like image editing, captioning, and creation across benchmarks.
