In January 2025, DeepSeek released Janus Pro, marking a significant technological breakthrough that builds upon the original Janus model with substantial performance improvements. Through optimized training strategies, expanded training data, and increased model scale, Janus Pro has achieved remarkable results in both multimodal understanding and text-to-image generation.
Innovative Architecture Design
The most distinctive feature of Janus Pro is its decoupled visual encoding architecture:
Compared to traditional single visual encoders, Janus Pro adopts a decoupled design that enables better handling of both understanding and generation tasks. This innovative architectural design is illustrated below:
Performance Evaluation
Janus Pro has demonstrated exceptional performance across multiple benchmark tests:
| Model | Sequence Length | Multimodal Understanding Accuracy | Image Generation Quality Score | |------|----------|------------------|------------------| | Janus-Pro-7B | 4096 | 84.5% | 8.7/10 | | Janus-Pro-1B | 4096 | 82.3% | 8.4/10 | | Janus-1.3B | 4096 | 79.1% | 8.1/10 |
