ByteDance's New AI 'BAGEL' is Here & It's Mind-Blowing!

The AI landscape is buzzing with ByteDance’s latest innovation: BAGEL. This new open-source multimodal foundation model is making waves with its impressive image generation and understanding capabilities, positioning itself as a strong contender alongside models like OpenAI’s GPT-4o. BAGEL isn’t just another model; it’s a significant step forward in democratizing advanced AI.

With 7 billion active parameters (14B total), BAGEL has been trained on vast amounts of large-scale interleaved multimodal data, including text, images, videos, and web data. This extensive training allows it to excel in a variety of complex tasks.

BAGEL is a unified generation and understanding model, pre-training initialized from large language models, providing it with foundational capabilities for reasoning and conversation. BAGEL can handle both image and text inputs and outputs in a mixed format.
