bytedance released an open source model that attempts to do just about anything with only 3b parameters

Lance is a lightweight native unified multimodal model that supports image and video understanding, generation, and editing within a single framework.

• Efficient at 3B scale. With only 3B active parameters, Lance delivers strong performance across image generation, image editing, and video generation benchmarks.
• Trained from scratch. Lance is built with a staged multi-task recipe and trained entirely from scratch within a 128-A100-GPU budget.
