**Highlights**: Lumina-Next is a next-generation Diffusion Transformer that significantly enhances text-to-image generation, multilingual generation, and multitask performance by introducing the Next-DiT architecture, 3D RoPE, and frequency- and time-aware RoPE, among other improvements.  
Lumina-Next has the following components:
* It improves sampling efficiency with fewer and faster Steps.
* It uses a Next-DiT as a transformer backbone with Sandwichnorm 3D RoPE, and Grouped-Query Attention.
