WithEveryone Solves the Multi-Identity Bottleneck in Group Image Generation

BY PNEUMETRON·arxiv··1 MIN READ

The new WithEveryone framework enables consistent, multi-identity image generation by decoupling layout planning from visual synthesis. By using explicit identity-layout grounding rather than embedding-based matching, it achieves significantly higher fidelity for groups of up to ten people.
