MGIE—Guiding Instruction-based Image Editing—demonstrates how a multimodal LLM can parse natural-language editing instructions and then drive image transformations accordingly. The project focuses on making edits explainable and controllable: the model interprets text guidance, reasons over image content, and outputs edits aligned with user intent. It’s positioned as an ICLR 2024 Spotlight work, with code and references that show how to connect language planning to concrete image operations. This bridges a gap between free-form prompts and precise edits by letting users describe “what” and “where” in everyday language. The repo includes instructions, examples, and links that situate MGIE within Apple’s broader line of multimodal research. For practitioners, MGIE provides a blueprint for text-to-edit systems that are more semantically grounded than naive prompt-only pipelines.
