## 📚 Introduction 
We introduce Lumina-DiMOO, an omni foundational model for seamless multimodal generation and understanding. Lumina-DiMOO is distinguished by four key innovations:

 - **Unified Discrete Diffusion Architecture:** Lumina-DiMOO sets itself apart from prior unified models by utilizing a fully discrete diffusion modeling to handle inputs and outputs across various modalities.
 - **Versatile Multimodal Capabilities:** Lumina-DiMOO supports a broad spectrum of multimodal tasks, including text-to-image generation (allowing for arbitrary and high-resolution), image-to-image generation (e.g., image editing, subject-driven generation, and image inpainting, etc.), alongside advanced image understanding.

 - **Higher Sampling Efficiency:** Compared to previous AR or hybrid AR-diffusion paradigms, Lumina-DiMOO demonstrates remarkable sampling efficiency. Additionally, we design a bespoke caching method to further speed up the sampling speed by 2x.

 - **Superior Performance:** Lumina-DiMOO achieves state-of-the-art performance on multiple benchmarks, surpassing existing open-source unified multimodal models, setting a new standard in the field.

## 🚀 Sampling Speed Analysis
Since text generation is performed in a block-wise manner, unlike image generation which uses a single global decoding step, its speed is influenced by both the number of blocks and the number of steps. Therefore, the speed improvement of image understanding is not as significant as that of image generation.
