SimpleAR: Autoregressive Visual Generation at 1024×1024 Using Only 0.5B Parameters
SimpleAR is a minimalist autoregressive visual generation framework that, with only 0.5 B parameters, achieves competitive 1024×1024 image synthesis through a three‑stage pipeline of large‑scale pretraining, supervised fine‑tuning, and GRPO‑based reinforcement learning, and demonstrates significant inference speedups using KV‑cache, vLLM, and speculative decoding.
