About

BAGEL (Big Advanced Generalized Embodied Learner) is ByteDance Seed's open-source unified multimodal foundation model built on Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct with a Mixture-of-Transformer-Experts (MoT) architecture. It supports text understanding, visual reasoning, text-to-image generation, and image editing, trained on trillions of interleaved multimodal tokens spanning language, image, video, and web data.
