    model_path="Qwen/Qwen3-0.6B",
    input_modalities=["text"],
    output_modalities=["text"]

dit_config = create_dit_stage_config(
    stage_id=1,
    model_path="stabilityai/stable-diffusion-2-1",
    input_modalities=["text"],
    output_modalities=["image"]
)

# Create OmniLLM instance
omni_llm = OmniLLM([ar_config, dit_config])

# Generate with multi-stage processing
stage_args = [
    {"prompt": "A beautiful landscape"},
    {"prompt": "A beautiful landscape"}
]

outputs = omni_llm.generate(stage_args)
