This model learns the direct mapping
source image + edit instruction -> target image
It is not a captioning pipeline and it does not turn the source image into text. The frozen VAE encodes both source and target images. The source latent is injected spatially before and throughout the latent transformer, while the target latent follows a rectified-flow noise path. Every MLP block uses the canonical TR-Hash MoE engine.
Training uses WebDataset TAR shards. Every record must contain the following members with an identical sample identifier:
000001.source.webp # image before the edit
000001.target.webp # expected image after the edit
000001.txt # imperative edit instruction
000001.json # provenance, license, transformation metadata
The source and target must be a genuine aligned edit pair. Captions paired to one image are not sufficient. Metadata should preserve the license and origin of both images.
The editor can reuse a text-to-image checkpoint with the same architecture. New source-conditioning gates start at zero, preserving the base model before edit fine-tuning.

--output edited.pngImage guidance controls structural fidelity to the source. Text guidance controls adherence to the instruction. They are separate because an editor must balance preservation and transformation rather than merely maximize text conditioning.
