DeepSeekJanusFlow

JanusFlow 1.3B

JanusFlow combines autoregressive language modeling with rectified flow for image generation. Its published checkpoint is derived from DeepSeek LLM 1.3B Base.

Research release

The generation method is the main distinction

JanusFlow uses rectified flow for images while keeping autoregressive language behavior. Its visual understanding still uses SigLIP-L.JanusFlow 1.3B model card

Practical guidance. This makes it useful for comparing generation methods within a combined multimodal design. Keep the comparison focused on the method rather than treating its release name as a simple quality ranking.

Review images at their native output size

Practical guidance. Evaluate text, fine detail and object placement before resizing the image. Enlarging a low-resolution output can make it easier to display, but does not establish that the model generated additional detail.

Keep the release and sampler together

Practical guidance. Record the checkpoint, inference code and sampling settings used for each image. Changes in those components can affect an experiment even when the written prompt stays the same.
