Researchers have introduced PixelUMM, a novel encoder-free model designed for unified image and video understanding and generation directly in pixel space. This model represents images as spatial patches and videos as spatiotemporal tubelets, connecting raw pixels to a shared multimodal backbone via simple linear projections. PixelUMM utilizes a Mixture-of-Transformers architecture that balances shared attention with task-specific parameters, enabling it to extend clean-pixel prediction to video generation and support both autoregressive text prediction and pixel-space flow matching. Experiments demonstrate competitive performance across various image and video tasks, with further studies exploring key design choices to inform future unified multimodal models. AI
