## About
This model (LightGen) introduces a novel pre-train pipeline for text-to-image models.
It is based on [this paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.08619), code release on [this github repo](https://github.com/XianfengWu01/LightGen).

Currently, we just release some checkpoint without DPO

## 🦉 ToDo List
- [ ] Release Complete Checkpoint.
