image-editing

ByteDance has released Lance, a 3-billion parameter multimodal model that performs image and video generation, editing, and understanding within a single framework. The model was trained entirely from scratch using 128 A100 GPUs and achieves 84.67% on DPG-Bench and 74% on GenEval, competing with larger models despite its compact size.

X is rolling out an updated in-app photo editor that integrates Grok to enable text-based image edits alongside traditional tools like blur, text overlay, and drawing. The feature brings X's editing capabilities closer to Google Photos' conversational editing.
