🔥🔥🔥 News!!
- Jul 09, 2025: 👋 We updated the step1x-edit model and released it as step1x-edit-v1p1:
- Added support for text-to-image (T2I) generation tasks
- Improved image editing quality and better instruction-following performance.
Quantitative evaluation on GEdit-Bench-EN (Full set). G_SC, G_PQ, and G_O refer to the metrics evaluated by GPT-4.1, while Q_SC, Q_PQ, and Q_O refer to the metrics evaluated by Qwen2.5-VL-72B. To facilitate reproducibility, we have released the intermediate results of our model evaluations.

🧩 Model Usages
Install the diffusers package from the following command:
git clone -b step1xedit https://github.com/Peyton-Chen/diffusers.git
cd diffusers
pip install -e .
Here is an example for using the Step1XEditPipeline class to edit images:
import torch
from diffusers import Step1XEditPipeline
from diffusers.utils import load_image
pipe = Step1XEditPipeline.from_pretrained("stepfun-ai/Step1X-Edit-v1p1-diffusers", torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16)
pipe.to("cuda")
print("=== processing image ===")
image = load_image("examples/0000.jpg").convert("RGB")
prompt = "给这个女生的脖子上戴一个带有红宝石的吊坠。"
image = pipe(
image=image,
prompt=prompt,
num_inference_steps=28,
true_cfg_scale=6.0,
generator=torch.Generator().manual_seed(42),
).images[0]
image.save("0000.jpg")
The results will look like:
📑 Model introduction
Framework of Step1X-Edit. Step1X-Edit leverages the image understanding capabilities of MLLMs to parse editing instructions and generate editing tokens, which are then decoded into images using a DiT-based network.More details please refer to our technical report.
We release GEdit-Bench as a new benchmark, grounded in real-world usages is developed to support more authentic and comprehensive evaluation. This benchmark, which is carefully curated to reflect actual user editing needs and a wide range of editing scenarios, enables more authentic and comprehensive evaluations of image editing models. Part results of the benchmark are shown below:
