Researchers have introduced MoETok, a novel 1D visual tokenizer designed to improve image representation and generation. MoETok utilizes sparse expert routing, allowing tokens to be processed by specialized experts based on their role (content or detail). This approach consistently enhances reconstruction, semantic representation, and autoregressive generation across various model scales. MoETok demonstrates state-of-the-art performance in class-conditional generation on ImageNet and achieves competitive results in unified autoregressive models for both understanding and generation, outperforming diffusion models like BAGEL and Qwen-Image on benchmarks such as DPG-Bench and GenEval2.
