Researchers have introduced EditMod, a novel approach to text-guided image editing using visual autoregressive models (VARs). Unlike previous methods that focus on target-conditioned regeneration, EditMod adopts a source-centric perspective. It analyzes the differences between source and target-conditioned predictions to determine an editing direction, which is then applied as a residual update to the source image tokens. This method reportedly maintains high source-image fidelity and strong text alignment, achieving full editing of a 1K image in under two seconds on a single A100 GPU without requiring per-image preparation.
