# MMaDA-8B-Base
We introduce MMaDA, a novel class of multimodal diffusion foundation models designed to achieve superior performance across diverse domains such as textual reasoning, multimodal understanding, and text-to-image generation. MMaDA is distinguished by three key innovations:
1. MMaDA adopts a unified diffusion architecture with a shared probabilistic formulation and a modality-agnostic design, eliminating the need for modality-specific components.
2. MMaDA introduces a mixed long chain-of-thought (CoT) fine-tuning strategy that curates a unified CoT format across modalities.
3. MMaDA adopts a unified policy-gradient-based RL algorithm, which we call UniGRPO, tailored for diffusion foundation models. Utilizing diversified reward modeling, UniGRPO unifies post-training across both reasoning and generation tasks, ensuring consistent performance improvements.
