Researchers have introduced Modus, a novel decoder-only model designed for any-to-any multimodal modeling. Unlike previous encoder-decoder or diffusion architectures, Modus treats all modalities symmetrically, allowing arbitrary inputs and outputs within a single network without modality-specific components. This approach enables applications like chained generation and cross-modal self-verification, demonstrating competitive performance against specialized models across various benchmarks. All associated materials have been made open-source. AI
