SenseNova-U1 just dropped — native multimodal gen/understanding in one model, no VAE, no diffusion

What’s new: Text rendering in images actually works. Diffusion models scramble text because they don’t have a language understanding pathway. U1 does — because it’s natively multimodal.

Closed-source AI hate is understandable, but local AI has nothing that should concern AI haters

Let’s face it, AI is forbidden to be praised or used in pretty much any online community outside of AI-focused sites without mass anger and vitriol in said communities. the same old strawman takes and insults show up pretty much every time someone posts an ai-generated image/video on other subreddits.
