ByteDance’s Goku uses rectified flow transformers for smoother AI-generated visuals.

Goku is an advanced AI model for image and video generation launched by ByteDance. It produces high-quality visuals from text prompts using rectified flow transformers, a type of AI model that generates images and videos more smoothly and accurately by improving the way information flows through the model. Think of it like a high-tech artist that refines its brushstrokes to make digital creations look more natural and realistic. The result is fewer glitches and distortions compared to other models.
