Introduction
Knowledge-intensive generation represents a frontier in AI image creation where models must not only generate visually appealing images but also accurately represent complex information, follow detailed instructions, and maintain factual consistency. GLM-Image's 16B parameter architecture, combining a 9B autoregressive generator with a 7B diffusion decoder, makes it uniquely suited for this challenging task.
What is Knowledge-Intensive Generation?
Knowledge-intensive generation refers to creating images that require:
- Complex instruction following: Understanding and executing multi-step, detailed prompts
- Factual accuracy: Correctly representing real-world concepts, objects, and relationships
- Contextual understanding: Maintaining consistency across multiple elements in the image
- Domain knowledge: Applying specialized knowledge from various fields
GLM-Image's Architecture for Knowledge-Intensive Tasks
The hybrid architecture of GLM-Image provides distinct advantages for knowledge-intensive generation:
Autoregressive Component (9B Parameters)
The autoregressive generator processes complex instructions sequentially, building a semantic understanding of the desired image. This component excels at:
- Parsing complex, multi-clause prompts
- Establishing relationships between different elements
- Maintaining logical consistency throughout generation
Diffusion Decoder (7B Parameters)
The diffusion decoder adds high-fidelity details while preserving the semantic structure established by the autoregressive component, ensuring that complex information is rendered accurately.
Use Cases for Knowledge-Intensive Generation

GLM-Image excels at creating educational materials that require accurate representation of concepts:
- Scientific diagrams with labeled components
- Historical scene reconstructions with period-accurate details
- Mathematical visualizations with precise notation
- Anatomical illustrations with correct terminology
Technical Documentation
Generate technical illustrations that accurately represent:
- System architecture diagrams
- Process flowcharts with detailed steps

- Infographics with multiple data points
- Statistical charts with precise values
- Geographic maps with accurate locations
- Timeline visualizations with correct chronology
Best Practices for Knowledge-Intensive Prompts
Structure Your Prompts Hierarchically
Organize complex information in a clear hierarchy:
- Start with the overall concept or scene
- Add major elements and their relationships
- Specify details for each element
- Include any necessary labels or text
Be Specific About Relationships
Clearly define how different elements relate to each other spatially, temporally, or conceptually.
Provide Context
Give GLM-Image enough context to understand the domain and purpose of the image.
Performance on Knowledge-Intensive Benchmarks
GLM-Image demonstrates strong performance on benchmarks that test knowledge-intensive generation:
- OneIG-Bench: 0.528 overall score, demonstrating balanced performance across multiple dimensions
- DPG-Bench: 84.78, showing strong capability in diverse prompt following
- TIIF-Bench: 81.01-81.02, indicating consistent performance on instruction following
Advanced Techniques
Combining Multiple Knowledge Domains
GLM-Image can integrate information from multiple domains in a single image, such as combining historical context with geographical accuracy.
Iterative Refinement
For complex knowledge-intensive tasks, consider using GLM-Image's image-to-image capabilities to refine and enhance generated images.
Conclusion
GLM-Image's knowledge-intensive generation capabilities open new possibilities for creating educational, technical, and informational content.
