# SenseNova-U1.5-8B-MoT

> Run SenseNova-U1.5-8B-MoT text-to-image generation with SGLang's native multimodal generation runtime.

## 1. Quick start

Follow the [SGLang Diffusion installation guide](https://docs.sglang.io/docs/sglang-diffusion/installation.md) for your GPU platform.

## 2. Model capabilities

[SenseNova-U1.5-8B-MoT](https://huggingface.co/sensenova/SenseNova-U1.5-8B-MoT) is a text-to-image model in the SenseNova-U1 family. It is useful for high-resolution poster, infographic, and enterprise visual-generation workloads where prompt following, layout structure, and Chinese text rendering are important.

Built on [NEO-Unify](https://huggingface.co/blog/sensenova/neo-unify), this release improves composition, color harmony, material rendering, and local visual detail for native high-resolution generation. It also focuses on clearer Chinese and English text rendering, stronger infographic layout structure, and more reliable execution of complex prompts with object counts, spatial relationships, styles, and multiple constraints.

## 3. Model Deployment

### 3.1 Offline Image Generation

SenseNova-U1.5-8B-MoT is a text-to-image model. You can run a single offline generation job with `sglang generate`:

```bash Command theme={null}
sglang generate \
  --model-path sensenova/SenseNova-U1.5-8B-MoT \
  --prompt "A cinematic mountain lake at sunrise, realistic photography." \
  --width 2048 \
  --height 2048 \
  --guidance-scale 4.0 \
  --num-inference-steps 50 \
  --seed 42 \
  --output-file-path output_sensenova_u15.png
```

### 3.2 Recommended Resolutions

SenseNova-U1 was trained around the 2K-pixel resolution tier. The SGLang pipeline only supports positive `--width` and `--height` values that are divisible by 32, and generation quality may degrade for untrained size combinations.

Recommended resolution tiers:

| Aspect ratio | Resolution |
| - | - |
| 1:1 | `2048 x 2048` |
| 16:9 / 9:16 | `2720 x 1536` / `1536 x 2720` |
| 3:2 / 2:3 | `2496 x 1664` / `1664 x 2496` |
| 4:3 / 3:4 | `2368 x 1760` / `1760 x 2368` |
| 2:1 / 1:2 | `2880 x 1440` / `1440 x 2880` |
| 3:1 / 1:3 | `3456 x 1152` / `1152 x 3456` |
| 9:16 4K | `2304 x 4096` |

## 4. API Usage

For complete API documentation, please refer to the [official API usage guide](https://docs.sglang.io/docs/sglang-diffusion/api/openai_api.md).

### 4.1 Generate an Image

```python Example theme={null}
import base64
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(api_key="EMPTY", base_url="http://localhost:30000/v1")

response = client.images.generate(
    model="sensenova/SenseNova-U1.5-8B-MoT",
    prompt="A clean technology poster with structured layout and clear typography.",
    n=1,
    response_format="b64_json",
)

image_bytes = base64.b64decode(response.data[0].b64_json)
with open("output_sensenova_u15.png", "wb") as f:
    f.write(image_bytes)
```

## 5. Advanced usage

### 5.1 Dynamic request batching

Start the server with dynamic batching enabled:

```bash Command theme={null}
sglang serve \
  --model-path sensenova/SenseNova-U1.5-8B-MoT \
  --port 30000 \
  --batching-max-size 2 \
  --batching-delay-ms 100
```

Submit requests concurrently so they arrive within the batching delay. Requests
in one batch must use the same resolution, inference steps, guidance settings,
and output options. Requests with multiple outputs or `think_mode=true` are
executed sequentially.

### 5.2 Ascend NPU optimizations

On Ascend NPU, SenseNova-U1 automatically uses fused inference attention,
RMSNorm, and SwiGLU MLP operators for supported inputs. FIA and SwiGLU fall back
when their requirements are not met. Run one complete warmup request before
benchmarking because the fused MLP packs its gate and up projection weights on
first use.

## 6. Benchmark

### 6.1 Speedup benchmark

#### 6.1.1 Single-run profile

**NVIDIA A800**

This is a single-run profile for smoke validation rather than a formal benchmark. Environment: NVIDIA A800; workload: vbench text-to-image, 1 prompt, concurrency 1, 1 output per prompt; warmup: none; repetitions: 1; dispersion: not reported; baseline: none; revisions: PR checkout and resolved model snapshot at run time; output validation: request completed and returned one image.

**Server Command**:

```shell Command theme={null}
sglang serve \
  --model-path sensenova/SenseNova-U1.5-8B-MoT \
  --port 30000
```

**Benchmark Command**:

```shell Command theme={null}
python3 -m sglang.multimodal_gen.benchmarks.bench_serving \
  --dataset vbench \
  --task text-to-image \
  --num-prompts 1 \
  --max-concurrency 1 \
  --port 30000
```

**Result**:

```text Output theme={null}
