## Model Description

- **Developed by:** NJU VisionLab
- **Model type:** Diffusion Transformer based image compression model
- **Model size:** 1.049 B parameters
- **Resolution:** Supports arbitrary resolution images

This model performs the diffusion process in a 32× latent space to reduce memory usage and accelerate inference.

The model is based on the pretrained text-to-image generative model [SANA-600M](https://huggingface.co/Efficient-Large-Model/Sana_600M_1024px_diffusers).


## Quick Start

For training and inference scripts, please visit our [GitHub Repository](https://github.com/Eric-qi/DiT-IC).



## Limitations

- The model may fail to reconstruct tiny text at low bitrates.
- Fingers and other fine structures may not be generated properly.
