Infinity: Scaling Bitwise AutoRegressive Modeling for High-Resolution Image Synthesis

📖 Introduction

We present Infinity, a Bitwise Visual AutoRegressive Modeling capable of generating high-resolution and photorealistic images. Infinity redefines visual autoregressive model under a bitwise token prediction framework with an infinite-vocabulary tokenizer & classifier and bitwise self-correction. Theoretically scaling the tokenizer vocabulary size to infinity and concurrently scaling the transformer size, our method significantly unleashes powerful scaling capabilities. Infinity sets a new record for autoregressive text-to-image models, outperforming top-tier diffusion models like SD3-Medium and SDXL. Notably, Infinity surpasses SD3-Medium by improving the GenEval benchmark score from 0.62 to 0.73 and the ImageReward benchmark score from 0.87 to 0.96, achieving a win rate of 66%. Without extra optimization, Infinity generates a high-quality 1024×1024 image in 0.8 seconds, making it 2.6× faster than SD3-Medium and establishing it as the fastest text-to-image model.
