  LlamaGen is a groundbreaking family of image generation models that applies the 'next-token prediction' paradigm of large language models (LLMs) to visual generation. This repository provides pre-trained model weights and PyTorch (torch>=2.1.0) code, demonstrating that vanilla autoregressive models, like Llama, can achieve state-of-the-art image generation performance and surpass diffusion models in scalability and efficiency for text-to-image synthesis.

  ## 💡 LlamaGen vs. Diffusion Models
  
  LlamaGen offers a distinct advantage over traditional diffusion models by:
  - **Scalability:** Leveraging the efficient 'next-token prediction' of LLMs for superior scaling.
  - **Performance:** Achieving state-of-the-art image generation quality without visual inductive biases.
  - **Simplicity:** Adopting a unified autoregressive framework, simplifying model architecture and training.
