Ming-Image-0.1-Design-Layer

Ming-Image-0.1-Design-Layer is a 6-billion-parameter open-weight model from inclusionAI, Ant Group’s research lab, released under the MIT licence alongside Ming-Image-0.1-Design and reported as released on 22 September 2026 (DataNorth, 23 September). It works in the opposite direction to a generator: given one flattened design image and a text plan of the layers wanted — a background and individual foreground elements — it returns each as a separate transparent RGBA image at the input’s dimensions. The use is practical: editing generated or legacy artwork in layer-based design tools without rebuilding it by hand. The validated configuration is a single GPU with 80 GB of memory in BF16, at 1024-pixel resolution with a faster 512-pixel option. inclusionAI publishes results on the Crello design test set, measuring colour and transparency accuracy, and says the model leads every setting it evaluated; those are the developer’s own measurements and are not stored as scores. No independent benchmark was available at release, and there is no hosted API or price from the developer.
