BAGEL-RecA
🚀 Just 6 × 80GB A100s × 4.5 hours to boost BAGEL performance across all tasks! Outperforms FLUX-Kontext in image editing capabilities!
A self-supervised training framework that aligns understanding and generation in modest compute, with huge zero-shot gain on generation and editing capability.

This repository hosts the model weights (NF4, INT8, BF16) for BAGEL-RecA. We fine-tuned BAGEL on 6 80GB NVIDIA A800 for only 27 GPU hours. While the understanding capability remains unchanged, our ReAlign method brings +3.6 zero-shot improvement on GenEval , +1.26 on DPGBench, +0.37 on ImgEdit and +0.33 on GEdit.
For installation, usage instructions, and further documentation, please visit our repo BAGEL's original GitHub repo.
DF11 version of BAGEL-RecA, many thanks to @theunlikely !!!
