Nitro-AR: A Compact AR Transformer for High-Quality Image Generation
- 22 January 2026
Recent years have witnessed remarkable progress in image generation, driven by two major modeling paradigms: diffusion-based models and autoregressive (AR) models. Building upon our previously released Nitro-E, a light-weight diffusion model for fast image synthesis, this blog explores a complementary direction, applying the architecture in an AR framework.
