Pygmalion: An Image-to-Mesh Model Enhanced by VAR

Introduction

Recent advancements in generative autoregressive modeling, particularly Next-Scale Prediction (VAR), have sparked significant excitement in the generative AI space. While autoregressive models have excelled in language tasks, they have struggled in visual generation, where diffusion models have been the dominant choice due to their sharp, coherent visuals. However, VAR promises faster, more efficient image generation at lower computational costs, making it a strong contender for real-time image and video synthesis.

This shift to VAR marks a new era in generative modeling, offering the potential to surpass diffusion models in speed and scalability. With applications in real-time image creation, 3D environments, and dynamic virtual content, VAR could revolutionize industries, much like deep learning did. Foundation 3D models like Hunyuan and TRELLIS are advancing industrial applications but remain limited by diffusion's constraints. VAR's innovations will break these barriers, enabling decentralization and democratization in generative AI.
