## Model description 

# CoMPaSS-FLUX.1

A LoRA adapter that enhances spatial understanding capabilities of the FLUX.1 text-to-image
diffusion model. This model demonstrates significant improvements in generating images with specific
spatial relationships between objects.

## Model Details

- **Base Model**: FLUX.1-dev
- **LoRA Rank**: 16
- **Training Data**: SCOP dataset (curated from COCO)
- **File Size**: ~50MiB
- **Framework**: Diffusers
- **License**: Non-Commercial (see [./LICENSE])

## Intended Use

- Generating images with accurate spatial relationships between objects
- Creating compositions that require specific spatial arrangements
- Enhancing the base model's spatial understanding while maintaining its other capabilities

## Performance 

### Key Improvements

- VISOR benchmark: +98% relative improvement
- T2I-CompBench Spatial: +67% relative improvement
- GenEval Position: +131% relative improvement
- Maintains or improves base model's image fidelity (lower FID and CMMD scores than base model)

## Using the Model

See our [GitHub repository][code] to get started.

### Effective Prompting

The model works well with:
- Clear spatial relationship descriptors (left, right, above, below)
- Pairs of distinct objects
- Explicit spatial relationships (e.g., "a photo of A to the right of B")

## Training Details

### Training Data

- Built using the SCOP (Spatial Constraints-Oriented Pairing) data engine
- ~28,000 curated object pairs from COCO
- Enforces criteria for:
  - Visual significance
  - Semantic distinction
  - Spatial clarity
  - Object relationships
  - Visual balance

### Training Process

- Trained for 24,000 steps
- Batch size of 4
- Learning rate: 1e-4
- Optimizer: AdamW with β₁=0.9, β₂=0.999
- Weight decay: 1e-2
