Free Lunch for Unified Multimodal Models: Enhancing Generation via Reflective Rectification with Inherent Understanding

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2604.13540v1 Announce Type: cross Unified Multimodal Models (UMMs) aim to integrate visual understanding and generation within a single structure. However, these models exhibit a notable capability mismatch, where their understanding capability significantly outperforms their generation. This mismatch indicates that the model's rich internal knowledge, while effective for understanding tasks, remains underactivated during generation.
