ByteDance Seed · Hugging Face new modelsByteDance-Seed/GenFirst trains a latent VAE and combines it with a generative prior to avoid latent collapse, which usually makes end-to-end training unstable. The two-stage plan of this method is used for prior and entropy weights: the first stage lets the prior shape the latent geometry, and the second stage reduces both weights tenfold, allowing the decoder to recover details.
