Fully open 3B-parameter pixel-space text-to-image model and vision learner
Iris-3B is Speridlabs' fully open 3B-parameter text-to-image model that generates directly in pixel space, bypassing the lossy compression of a VAE latent. The lab presents it as a general vision learner that can stand in for vision backbones such as DINOv2 on dense tasks like depth and restoration, and releases the paper, code, weights and a Hugging Face Space.
