Intern Lumina U2 is a diffusion large language model from the Intern Lumina U2 Team at Shanghai AI Laboratory (InternLM). It uses discrete multi-codebook (VQ-level) visual tokens in a single unified architecture, with parallel positions and sequential codebooks. The project page describes it as covering text question answering, image understanding, image editing, image generation, video understanding and 3D understanding.
The project page reports benchmark results against InternVL-U, LLaDA2.0-Uni and LLaDA-o on documents and charts (ChartQA, CharXiv-DQ), perception (HallusionBench, MME-C, RealWorldQA), reasoning (MMMU, MMMU-Pro, MathVista, MathVision, DynaMath), generation (GenEval, DPG-Bench, TIIF, WISE) and editing (ImgEdit). Video and 3D results are compared against specialist models such as VideoLLaMA2-7B, LLaDA-V, PointLLM-7B and ShapeLLM-7B. The scores are for the released Ascend-trained checkpoint. These are vendor-reported numbers.
According to a YouTube creator, code instructions have been released but weights were not yet on Hugging Face at the time of that video. The page text provided does not state a license, so availability of weights and licensing terms should be verified against the official resources. A technical report is cited as arXiv:2610.20818.
