Model Card
Kandinsky 2 is a multilingual text-to-image model built by Sber AI's AI Forever research group, part of the Kandinsky family that also includes Kandinsky 2.2 and Kandinsky 3.0.
Instead of the single U-Net Stable Diffusion uses, it generates images in two stages. A diffusion-based image prior maps a CLIP text embedding to a CLIP image embedding, then a 1.22B-parameter latent diffusion U-Net and a MoVQ decoder turn that embedding into pixels. Text is encoded with XLM-Roberta-Large-Vit-L-14, so prompts work across multiple languages, and the image prior uses a CLIP ViT-L/14 encoder.
This prior-plus-decoder approach follows the same lineage as OpenAI's DALL-E 2. On the COCO-30K benchmark, this architecture reported an FID of 8.21, ahead of Stable Diffusion 2.1 (8.59), GigaGAN at 512x512 (9.09), and DALL-E 2 (10.39).
It fits multilingual prompting and image mixing, and it is a lower-cost, earlier-generation option compared to Kandinsky 2.2's higher-resolution output.
