About

Karlo stands as a groundbreaking model for generating images based on text prompts. It builds upon OpenAI's remarkable unCLIP architecture but takes a step further by enhancing the standard super-resolution model, allowing it to recover intricate details at a remarkable resolution of 256px, all while minimizing noise through a limited number of denoising steps. To create Karlo, we embarked on an extensive training process. We started from scratch, utilizing a vast dataset of 115 million image-text pairs, which included COYO-100M, CC3M, and CC12M. In the case of the Prior and Decoder components, we harnessed the power of ViT-L/14, a text encoder from OpenAI's CLIP repository. To optimize efficiency, we made a significant modification to the original unCLIP implementation. Instead of employing a trainable transformer in the decoder, we integrated the text encoder from ViT-L/14.

About

Mu is a 330-million-parameter encoder–decoder language model designed to power the agent in Windows settings by mapping natural-language queries to Settings function calls, running fully on-device via NPUs at over 100 tokens per second while maintaining high accuracy. Drawing on Phi Silica optimizations, Mu’s encoder–decoder architecture reuses a fixed-length latent representation to cut computation and memory overhead, yielding 47 percent lower first-token latency and 4.7× higher decoding speed on Qualcomm Hexagon NPUs compared to similar decoder-only models. Hardware-aware tuning, including a 2/3–1/3 encoder–decoder parameter split, weight sharing between input and output embeddings, Dual LayerNorm, rotary positional embeddings, and grouped-query attention, enables fast inference at over 200 tokens per second on devices like Surface Laptop 7 and sub-500 ms response times for settings queries.
