Ming-Image-0.1-Design is a 6B-parameter text-to-image model from inclusionAI, aimed at text-rich visual design such as UI mockups, infographics and posters. It generates complete compositions and can output RGBA images with transparent backgrounds. Per the model card, it is listed on a UI/UX Design leaderboard; creators reported it ranked first among open-weights models on the Artificial Analysis UI/UX leaderboard.
Weights are published on Hugging Face under the MIT license. Inference runs through the companion Ming-Image GitHub repository (infer.py), and vLLM-Omni is recommended for serving. Recommended settings are 2048x2048 (or 1024x1024 for speed), 12 sampling steps, CFG scale 1.0 and BF16 precision. Transparent output requires prepending one of the recommended RGBA phrases to the prompt.
The validated hardware configuration is a single CUDA GPU with 80 GiB VRAM, so local use needs a large GPU. Prompt enhancement can use Ling-3.0-flash-VL or Qwen models. A companion Design Layer model, mentioned by creators, splits flat designs into layers; it is not described on the provided model card. A Hugging Face Space demo is linked.
