📖 Introduction

HunyuanImage-3.0 is a groundbreaking native multimodal model that unifies multimodal understanding and generation within an autoregressive framework. Our text-to-image and image-to-image model achieves performance comparable to or surpassing leading closed-source models.

<div align="center"> <img src="./assets/framework.png" alt="HunyuanImage-3.0 Framework" width="90%"> </div>

✨ Key Features

• 🧠 Unified Multimodal Architecture: Moving beyond the prevalent DiT-based architectures, HunyuanImage-3.0 employs a unified autoregressive framework. This design enables a more direct and integrated modeling of text and image modalities, leading to surprisingly effective and contextually rich image generation.

• 🏆 The Largest Image Generation MoE Model: This is the largest open-source image generation Mixture of Experts (MoE) model to date. It features 64 experts and a total of 80 billion parameters, with 13 billion activated per token, significantly enhancing its capacity and performance.

• 🎨 Superior Image Generation Performance: Through rigorous dataset curation and advanced reinforcement learning post-training, we've achieved an optimal balance between semantic accuracy and visual excellence. The model demonstrates exceptional prompt adherence while delivering photorealistic imagery with stunning aesthetic quality and fine-grained details.

• 💭 Intelligent Image Understanding and World-Knowledge Reasoning: The unified multimodal architecture endows HunyuanImage-3.0 with powerful reasoning capabilities. It under stands user's input image, and leverages its extensive world knowledge to intelligently interpret user intent, automatically elaborating on sparse prompts with contextually appropriate details to produce superior, more complete visual outputs.

🚀 Usage

📦 Environment Setup

• 🐍 Python: 3.12+ (recommended and tested)
• ⚡ CUDA: 12.8

📥 Install Dependencies

# 1. First install PyTorch (CUDA 12.8 Version)
pip install torch==2.8.0 torchvision==0.23.0 torchaudio==2.8.0 --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu128

# 2. Install tencentcloud-sdk for Prompt Enhancement (PE) only for HunyuanImage-3.0 not HunyuanImage-3.0-Instruct
pip install -i https://mirrors.tencent.com/pypi/simple/ --upgrade tencentcloud-sdk-python

# 3. Then install other dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

For up to 3x faster inference, install these optimizations:

# FlashInfer for optimized moe inference. v0.5.0 is tested.
pip install flashinfer-python==0.5.0

💡Installation Tips: It is critical that the CUDA version used by PyTorch matches the system's CUDA version. FlashInfer relies on this compatibility when compiling kernels at runtime. GCC version >=9 is recommended for compiling FlashAttention and FlashInfer.

⚡ Performance Tips: These optimizations can significantly speed up your inference!

💡Notation: When FlashInfer is enabled, the first inference may be slower (about 10 minutes) due to kernel compilation. Subsequent inferences on the same machine will be much faster.

📊 Evaluation

Evaluation of HunyuanImage-3.0-Instruct

• 👥 GSB (Human Evaluation) We adopted the GSB (Good/Same/Bad) evaluation method commonly used to assess the relative performance between two models from an overall image perception perspective. In total, we utilized 1,000+ single- and multi-images editing cases, generating an equal number of image samples for all compared models in a single run. For a fair comparison, we conducted inference only once for each prompt, avoiding any cherry-picking of results. When comparing with the baseline methods, we maintained the default settings for all selected models. The evaluation was performed by more than 100 professional evaluators.

Evaluation of HunyuanImage-3.0 (Text-to-Image)

• 🤖 SSAE (Machine Evaluation)
  SSAE (Structured Semantic Alignment Evaluation) is an intelligent evaluation metric for image-text alignment based on advanced multimodal large language models (MLLMs). We extracted 3500 key points across 12 categories, then used multimodal large language models to automatically evaluate and score by comparing the generated images with these key points based on the visual content of the images. Mean Image Accuracy represents the image-wise average score across all key points, while Global Accuracy directly calculates the average score across all key points.
