While thinking-aware generation aims to improve performance on complex tasks, we identify a critical failure mode where existing sequential, autoregressive approaches can paradoxically degrade performance due to error propagation. To systematically analyze this issue, we propose ParaBench, a new benchmark designed to evaluate both text and image output modalities. Our analysis using ParaBench reveals that this performance degradation is strongly correlated with poor alignment between the generated reasoning and the final image. To resolve this, we propose a parallel multimodal diffusion framework that enables continuous, bidirectional interaction between text and images throughout the entire denoising trajectory. This model, MMaDA-Parallel, is trained with supervised finetuning and then further optimized by Parallel Reinforcement Learning (ParaRL), a novel strategy that applies semantic rewards along the trajectory to enforce cross-modal consistency. Experiments validate that our approach significantly improves cross-modal alignment and semantic consistency, achieving a 6.9% improvement in Output Alignment on ParaBench compared to the state-of-the-art model, Bagel, establishing a more robust paradigm for thinking-aware image synthesis.

Could be a huge performance boost for image generation

losing weight is so simple (just eat less) but so fuckin difficult (it is insanely difficult to eat less)

when I get below my average weight (85kg) say down to like 80kg, my body acts like it's dying

a heat pump? an aircon? an antenna? 😖

Why did you short url a wikipedia link with google?

just use signal, heard it’s pretty good

there are right wing instances?

This was so stupid

As far as how Apu compares to his other ethnic characters, "I still get comments to this day, [goes into Italian accent] 'Why can you do Luigi? And that's not offensive.' [Goes into southern accent] 'Why can you talk like Cletus?' [back to normal voice] 'And that's not a problem? But you can't do Apu?'" Azaria said, "Honestly, at first, I thought, 'Let me look into this, and then I'll go back to doing the voice,' and say, 'I understand, but I'm going to keep doing this.' I was surprised myself that I came down on, 'No, I think I'm participating in a harm here.'"

Really? Hate crimes because of a simpsons character? I really doubt it

Top comment:

Apu was:

  • A college graduate
  • Able to earn his American citizenship.
  • A volunteer firefighter
  • A vegetarian and made Lisa a better one by telling her not to judge people.
  • The only playable character in Hit and Run outside of the Simpsons family
  • A complex character
  • A good character

I would have rather they re-cast Apu than just get rid of him.

Australia wants the submarine contract cancelled as well

I think we're all trying to get away from the US at the moment

tbh this story isn't new, the IT guy who has scripted everything and works 1 hour a week even in the office has been around since like the 80's
