🚀 SenseNova-U1.5
🌟 Overview
SenseNova-U1.5-8B-MoT is our latest native unified multimodal checkpoint for more accurate, consistent, reliable, and aesthetically compelling visual creation. Built on NEO-unify, we further strengthen the patchify layers, data quality and distribution, task formulation, prompt enhancement, and post-training pipeline.
The official release focuses on six user-visible improvements:
- Higher-quality image generation: improved composition and color harmony, with more realistic material rendering, natural lighting, stronger visual fidelity, and finer local details.
- Better text rendering and infographic generation: more legible Chinese and English text, with clearer information hierarchy in posters, infographics, brand assets, and other text-dense designs.
- More efficient native 4K generation: more coherent global structure, col
