NewBie image Exp0.1 is a 3.5B parameter DiT model developed through research on the Lumina architecture. Building on these insights, it adopts Next-DiT as the foundation to design a new NewBie architecture tailored for text-to-image generation. The NewBie image Exp0.1 model is trained within this newly constructed system, representing the first experimental release of the NewBie text-to-image generation framework.
Text Encoder
We use Gemma3-4B-it as the primary text encoder, conditioning on its penultimate-layer token hidden states. We also extract pooled text features from Jina CLIP v2, project them, and fuse them into the time/AdaLN conditioning pathway. Together, Gemma3-4B-it and Jina CLIP v2 provide strong prompt understanding and improved instruction adherence.
VAE
Use the FLUX.1-dev 16channel VAE to encode images into latents, delivering richer, smoother color rendering and finer texture detail helping safeguard the stunning visual quality of NewBie image Exp0.1.
