Microsoft open-sources Mage, a family of 4B parameter multimodal models.

Microsoft has open-sourced the Mage family of 4B-parameter multimodal models, including the streaming video/image understanding model Mage-VL and the image generation and editing model Mage-Flow. Mage-VL uses Codec-Native encoding, reducing visual tokens by 75% and speeding up video inference by 3.5 times, supporting real-time streaming understanding. Mage-Flow supports text-to-image processing and instruction editing at any native resolution from 512 to 2048. The Turbo version requires only 4 sampling steps, and a single A100 GPU can output an image in 0.6 seconds.
