The model looks good for an open source model. I want to see how these models are trained. may be they have a base model from academic datasets and quickly fine-tune with models like nano banana pro or something? That could be the game for such models. But great to see an open source model competing with the big players.
they released a research post on how the new model's VAE was trained here: https://bfl.ai/research/representation-comparison
Surprised there wasn't any mention of Equilibrium Matching [1] in the future work section

great this is more on the techincal details. it is great but would be great to see the data. I know they will not expose such information but would be great to have a visibility onto the datasets and how the data was sourced.
