Qwen-Image-Layered is a model that breaks down images into multiple editable RGBA layers, allowing for precise manipulation of individual components. Users can perform tasks like recoloring, resizing, and repositioning without altering other layers. The model supports variable-layer decomposition and can recursively decompose layers.

Goodfire has introduced Paint With Ember, a tool that enables users to generate and edit images by manipulating neural activations of AI models directly on a canvas. The tool utilizes insights from diffusion models, particularly the Stable Diffusion XL-Turbo, to provide a more intuitive interface for creative expression, while also open-sourcing the underlying SAE model for broader use and exploration.
