- Who it helps
- Researchers and creative-tool developers working on repeated image edits.
- Availability
- November 4 paper is public. The repository links complete checkpoints for three model families and training configurations.
A final training stage
The method keeps the early steps of turning noise into an image close to the original model and concentrates preservation corrections near the final steps. It trains on examples generated by the model itself, using unchanged source content as a reference.

What the release supports
The repository includes a twenty-turn café example and other input/prompt/reference suites. Complete checkpoints can run in their original pipelines; training defaults use eight GPUs. Base-model and dataset terms still apply.
