Boogu-Image-0.1: Boosting Open Agentic Multimodal Generation via Understanding under a Minimal Budget

We introduce Boogu-Image-0.1, an open-source unified multimodal understanding and generation model family, comprising Base, Turbo, Edit, and Edit-Turbo variants. It delivers competitive performance in high-quality text-to-image generation, fast inference, instruction-based editing, and bilingual (Chinese-English) text rendering. Closed-source multimodal systems like Nano-Banana-Pro and GPT-Image-2 achieve strong performance through system-level integration rather than a single model, yet their internal practices remain largely undisclosed. In this work, we demonstrate that strengthening the understanding capability of the system, through a stronger multimodal encoder, agentic prompt rewriting, and related techniques, together with improvements in data quality, training pipelines, and agentic inference-time scaling, can substantially enhance generation and editing performance even under highly constrained compute budgets. Comprehensive evaluations show that Boogu-Image-0.1 consistently matches or surpasses other open-source models across standard benchmarks, and achieves results approaching leading closed-source systems. Notably, this is accomplished with only 208.62 million unique images. The base model's theoretical training cost is only approximately \$400K. We share practical discussions that we believe are valuable to the broader research community, and release weights, code, and recipes under Apache 2.0 to advance the open ecosystem for unified multimodal understanding and generation.

CRoC: Context Refactoring Contrast for Graph Anomaly Detection with Limited Supervision

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) are widely used as the engine for various graph-related tasks, with their effectiveness in analyzing graph-structured data. However, training robust GNNs often demands abundant labeled data, which is a critical bottleneck in real-world applications. This limitation severely impedes progress in Graph Anomaly Detection (GAD), where anomalies are inherently rare, costly to label, and may actively camouflage their patterns to evade detection. To address these problems, we propose Context Refactoring Contrast (CRoC), a simple yet effective framework that trains GNNs for GAD by jointly leveraging limited labeled and abundant unlabeled data. Different from previous works, CRoC exploits the class imbalance inherent in GAD to refactor the context of each node, which builds augmented graphs by recomposing the attributes of nodes while preserving their interaction patterns. Furthermore, CRoC encodes heterogeneous relations separately and integrates them into the message-passing process, enhancing the model's capacity to capture complex interaction semantics. These operations preserve node semantics while encouraging robustness to adversarial camouflage, enabling GNNs to uncover intricate anomalous cases. In the training stage, CRoC is further integrated with the contrastive learning paradigm. This allows GNNs to effectively harness unlabeled data during joint training, producing richer, more discriminative node embeddings. CRoC is evaluated on seven real-world GAD datasets with varying scales. Extensive experiments demonstrate that CRoC achieves up to 14% AUC improvement over baseline GNNs and outperforms state-of-the-art GAD methods under limited-label settings.

GTEA: Inductive Representation Learning on Temporal Interaction Graphs via Temporal Edge Aggregation

In this paper, we propose the Graph Temporal Edge Aggregation (GTEA) framework for inductive learning on Temporal Interaction Graphs (TIGs). Different from previous works, GTEA models the temporal dynamics of interaction sequences in the continuous-time space and simultaneously takes advantage of both rich node and edge/ interaction attributes in the graph. Concretely, we integrate a sequence model with a time encoder to learn pairwise interactional dynamics between two adjacent nodes.This helps capture complex temporal interactional patterns of a node pair along the history, which generates edge embeddings that can be fed into a GNN backbone. By aggregating features of neighboring nodes and the corresponding edge embeddings, GTEA jointly learns both topological and temporal dependencies of a TIG. In addition, a sparsity-inducing self-attention scheme is incorporated for neighbor aggregation, which highlights more important neighbors and suppresses trivial noises for GTEA. By jointly optimizing the sequence model and the GNN backbone, GTEA learns more comprehensive node representations capturing both temporal and graph structural characteristics. Extensive experiments on five large-scale real-world datasets demonstrate the superiority of GTEA over other inductive models.
