# UniTok: A Unified Tokenizer for Visual Generation and Understanding

This repository contains UniTok, a unified visual tokenizer for both image generation and understanding tasks, as presented in [UniTok: A Unified Tokenizer for Visual Generation and Understanding](https://hf.co/papers/2502.20321).

Project Page: https://foundationvision.github.io/UniTok/ <br>
Code: https://github.com/FoundationVision/UniTok

<p>

UniTok encodes fine-grained details for generation and captures high-level semantics for understanding. It's compatible with autoregressive generative models (e.g., LlamaGen), multimodal understanding models (e.g., LLaVA), and unified MLLMs (e.g., Chameleon and Liquid).

Built upon UniTok, we construct an MLLM capable of both multimodal generation and understanding, which sets a new state-of-the-art among unified autoregressive MLLMs. The weights of our MLLM will be released soon.
