• Abstract: Text-to-image models have rapidly evolved from casual creative tools to professional-grade systems, achieving unprecedented levels of image quality and realism. Yet, most models are trained to map short prompts into detailed images, creating a gap between sparse textual input and rich visual outputs. This mismatch reduces controllability, as models often fill in missing details arbitrarily, biasing toward average user preferences and limiting precision for professional use. We address this limitation by training the first open-source text-to-image model on long structured captions, where every training sample is annotated with the same set of fine-grained attributes. This design maximizes expressive coverage and enables disentangled control over visual factors. To process long captions efficiently, we propose DimFusion, a fusion mechanism that integrates intermediate tokens from a lightweight LLM without increasing token length. We also introduce the Text-as-a-Bottleneck Reconstruction (TaBR) evaluation protocol. By assessing how well real images can be reconstructed through a captioning-generation loop, TaBR directly measures controllability and expressiveness, even for very long captions where existing evaluation methods fail. Finally, we demonstrate our contributions by training the large-scale model FIBO, achieving state-of-the-art prompt alignment among open-source models.

  This paper proposes a novel approach for text image generation, utilizing a pre-trained diffusion model. Our approach involves the design and training of a light-weight character-level text encoder, which replaces the original CLIP encoder. By employing an inference stage refinement process, we achieve a notably high sequence accuracy when synthesizing text in arbitrarily given images.

  Unpaired Image Captioning (UIC) has been developed to learn image descriptions from unaligned vision-language sample pairs.

We present in this paper a novel scheme based on prompt to train the UIC model, making best use of the powerful generalization ability.

  We propose to use a simple length level embedding to endow them with this ability. Due to their autoregressive nature, the computational complexity of existing models increases linearly as the length of the generated captions grows. We further devise a non-autoregressive image captioning approach that can generate captions in a length-irrelevant complexity.
