The abstract from the paper is:

We introduce Ovis-Image, a 7B text-to-image model specifically optimized for high-quality text rendering, designed to operate efficiently under stringent computational constraints. Built upon our previous Ovis-U1 framework, Ovis-Image integrates a diffusion-based visual decoder with the stronger Ovis 2.5 multimodal backbone, leveraging a text-centric training pipeline that combines large-scale pre-training with carefully tailored post-training refinements. Despite its compact architecture, Ovis-Image achieves text rendering performance on par with significantly larger open models such as Qwen-Image and approaches closed-source systems like Seedream and GPT4o. Crucially, the model remains deployable on a single high-end GPU with moderate memory, narrowing the gap between frontier-level text rendering and practical deployment. Our results indicate that combining a strong multimodal backbone with a carefully designed, text-focused training recipe is sufficient to achieve reliable bilingual text rendering without resorting to oversized or proprietary models.

Highlights:

• Strong text rendering at a compact 7B scale: Ovis-Image is a 7B text-to-image model that delivers text rendering quality comparable to much larger 20B-class systems such as Qwen-Image and competitive with leading closed-source models like GPT4o in text-centric scenarios, while remaining small enough to run on widely accessible hardware.
• High fidelity on text-heavy, layout-sensitive prompts: The model excels on prompts that demand tight alignment between linguistic content and rendered typography (e.g., posters, banners, logos, UI mockups, infographics), producing legible, correctly spelled, and semantically consistent text across diverse fonts, sizes, and aspect ratios without compromising overall visual quality.
• Efficiency and deployability: With its 7B parameter budget and streamlined architecture, Ovis-Image fits on a single high-end GPU with moderate memory, supports low-latency interactive use, and scales to batch production serving, bringing near–frontier text rendering to applications where tens-of-billions–parameter models are impractical.
