Existing defect/anomaly generation methods often rely on few-shot learning, which overfits to specific defect categories due to the lack of large-scale paired defect editing data. This issue is aggravated by substantial variations in defect scale and morphology, resulting in limited generalization, degraded realism, and category consistency. We address these challenges by introducing UDG, a large-scale dataset of 300K normal-abnormal-mask-caption quadruplets spanning diverse domains, and by presenting UniDG, a universal defect generation foundation model that supports both reference-based defect generation and text instruction-based defect editing without per-category fine-tuning. UniDG performs Defect-Context Editing via adaptive defect cropping and structured diptych input format, and fuses reference and target conditions through MM-DiT multimodal attention. A two-stage training strategy, Diversity-SFT followed by Consistency-RFT, further improves diversity while enhancing realism and reference consistency. Extensive experiments on MVTec-AD and VisA show that UniDG outperforms prior few-shot anomaly generation and image insertion/editing baselines in synthesis quality and downstream single- and multi-class anomaly detection/localization.

We introduce SeaS, a unified industrial generative model for automatically creating diverse anomalies, authentic normal products, and precise anomaly masks. While extensive research exists, most efforts either focus on specific tasks, i.e., anomalies or normal products only, or require separate models for each anomaly type. Consequently, prior methods either offer limited generative capability or depend on a vast array of anomaly-specific models. We demonstrate that U-Net's differentiated learning ability captures the distinct visual traits of slightly-varied normal products and diverse anomalies, enabling us to construct a unified model for all tasks. Specifically, we first introduce an Unbalanced Abnormal (UA) Text Prompt, comprising one normal token and multiple anomaly tokens. More importantly, our Decoupled Anomaly Alignment (DA) loss decouples anomaly attributes and binds them to distinct anomaly tokens of UA, enabling SeaS to create unseen anomalies by recombining these attributes. Furthermore, our Normal-image Alignment (NA) loss aligns the normal token to normal patterns, making generated normal products globally consistent and locally varied. Finally, SeaS produces accurate anomaly masks by fusing discriminative U-Net features with high-resolution VAE features. SeaS sets a new benchmark for industrial generation, significantly enhancing downstream applications, with average improvements of $+8.66\%$ pixel-level AP for synthesis-based AD approaches, $+1.10\%$ image-level AP for unsupervised AD methods, and $+12.79\%$ IoU for supervised segmentation models.
