Original paper¶
Background and contribution¶
Use spatial patch reconstruction instead of tokenizer/VAE, and multi-expert OPD to align understanding and generation post-training.

Key figure from the paper¶
Original Figure 3: SenseNova-U1.5. From the paper; copyright belongs to the authors. Not a local result.
Core mechanism¶
The deterministic reference computes masked patch targets and merges expert OPD signals, with audited state and boundary checks.
Paper results¶
The authors report combined understanding and generation results on the unified 8B-MoT. No local paper-scale or inferred A/B result.
Local reproduction¶
Three-seed metrics use matched fixtures, budget, and seeds and verify state transitions only.
Reproduction limits¶
Masked target and expert OPD only, no multistage 8B training.
