Introducing Emu 3.5 Image Edit: Precision Text-Guided Image Editing Now on WaveSpeedAI

The landscape of AI image editing has just gained a powerful new player. WaveSpeedAI is excited to announce the availability of Emu 3.5 Image Edit—a cutting-edge model that transforms how creators approach image modifications. Simply describe what you want changed in plain English, and watch as your images are intelligently transformed with remarkable precision.

What is Emu 3.5 Image Edit?

Emu 3.5 is a 34-billion parameter multimodal model developed by the Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence (BAAI), trained on over 10 trillion multimodal tokens derived from approximately 790 years of video content. This massive training foundation gives the model an exceptional understanding of how objects, lighting, textures, and visual elements interact in the real world.

What sets Emu 3.5 apart from traditional image editing tools is its native multimodal architecture. Rather than treating text and images as separate inputs that need to be bridged, Emu 3.5 processes both simultaneously—understanding not just what you want to generate, but how it relates to existing image content. This architectural advantage translates directly into more context-aware, natural-looking edits.

The model incorporates Discrete Diffusion Adaptation (DiDA), a novel technique that accelerates image generation by nearly 20× compared to standard autoregressive approaches, delivering both speed and quality without compromise.

Key Features

Natural Language Editing: Describe your desired changes in conversational English—no masks, layers, or complex selection tools required. Simply tell the model “remove the background clutter” or “change the lighting to golden hour,” and it understands exactly what to do.
Context-Aware Modifications: Unlike pure generation models, Emu 3.5 excels at understanding visual context and making targeted edits while preserving image coherence. It knows what to change and, crucially, what to leave untouched.
Superior Spatial Understanding: In benchmark testing, Emu 3.5 achieved 87% correct spatial placement accuracy—compared to 64% for SDXL and 71% for Flux. This translates to edits that naturally integrate with your original composition.
Photorealistic Output: The model delivers exceptional results for material realism, including convincing wet stone, brushed metal, and glass reflections. Skin tones appear natural, shadows render cleanly, and volumetrics avoid the muddy quality common in other models.
High Resolution Support: Generate edited images up to 2048 pixels with clean lighting and realistic materials throughout.
Bilingual Text Handling: Emu 3.5 can generate and edit dense English and Chinese text within images, along with mathematical formulas and complex layouts—without the typical AI artifacts that plague other models.

Real-World Use Cases

Product Photography Enhancement

E-commerce sellers and product photographers can quickly refine product shots. Remove unwanted reflections, adjust background gradients, or enhance lighting—all through simple text commands. One common workflow: “Remove reflections on the bottle while keeping the label crisp.”

Creative Restyling

Transform the mood and aesthetic of portraits and scenes while preserving structure and composition. Apply different artistic styles, lighting conditions, or atmospheric effects to existing images with natural consistency.

Content Creation at Scale

Marketing teams and content creators can iterate rapidly on visual concepts. The model’s instruction-following capabilities mean you can make precise adjustments without starting from scratch—ideal for A/B testing visual variations or adapting images across different campaigns.

Background Replacement and Scene Editing

Upload an image, describe the background you want, and let Emu 3.5 handle the blending. Edges integrate better than expected, making this particularly useful for product photography and portrait work where seamless compositing matters.

Photo Restoration and Enhancement

Reduce glare, improve lighting balance, or clean up imperfections through natural language instructions. The model handles these refinement tasks with nuanced understanding of what makes images look professionally polished.
