Update model card for InfinityCC: Spherical Leech Quantization

This PR addresses a misattribution in the model card by completely rewriting its content to correctly associate this repository with the paper "Spherical Leech Quantization for Visual Tokenization and Generation" (arXiv:2512.14697). The repository `InfinityCC` (from GitHub user `zhaoyue-zephyrus`) implements concepts from this paper for class-conditioned image generation.

Changes include:
- Correcting the model card title to reflect `InfinityCC` and the associated paper.
- Linking to the official Hugging Face paper page: https://huggingface.co/papers/2512.14697
- Linking to the project page: https://cs.stanford.edu/~yzz/npq/
- Linking to the GitHub repository: https://github.com/zhaoyue-zephyrus/InfinityCC
- Incorporating installation instructions and performance results directly from the GitHub README.
- Updating the citation information for the correct paper.
- Adding the `pipeline_tag: text-to-image` to improve discoverability on the Hugging Face Hub.
- Removing all content and badges related to the "Infinity: Scaling Bitwise AutoRegressive Modeling" paper (arXiv:2412.04431), which was incorrectly featured previously.

Please review and merge this PR to ensure the model card accurately represents the artifact.

+## Introduction
+In this work, we explore Spherical Leech Quantization ($\Lambda_{24}$-SQ), a non-parametric quantization method rooted in lattice coding. This approach simplifies the training recipe and improves the reconstruction-compression tradeoff, thanks to its high symmetry and even distribution on the hypersphere. It has demonstrated better reconstruction quality than prior art in image tokenization and compression tasks, with improvements extending to state-of-the-art auto-regressive image generation frameworks. InfinityCC serves as a practical demonstration of this powerful quantization technique for visual generation.
 
+## Installation
 
+We use [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) to manage all dependencies.
+
+```bash
+uv sync
+source .venv/bin/activate
+```
 
+To evaluate ImageNet using the ADM evaluator, run the following command lines:
+```bash
+mkdir third_party/ && cd third_party/
+git clone https://${GIT_TOKEN}@github.com/openai/guided-diffusion.git
+cd guided-diffusion/evaluations
+wget https://openaipublic.blob.core.windows.net/diffusion/jul-2021/ref_batches/imagenet/256/VIRTUAL_imagenet256_labeled.npz
+```
 
-## 📖 Introduction
-We present Infinity, a Bitwise Visual AutoRegressive Modeling capable of generating high-resolution and photorealistic images. Infinity redefines visual autoregressive model under a bitwise token prediction framework with an infinite-vocabulary tokenizer & classifier and bitwise self-correction. Theoretically scaling the tokenizer vocabulary size to infinity and concurrently scaling the transformer size, our method significantly unleashes powerful scaling capabilities. Infinity sets a new record for autoregressive text-to-image models, outperforming top-tier diffusion models like SD3-Medium and SDXL. Notably, Infinity surpasses SD3-Medium by improving the GenEval benchmark score from 0.62 to 0.73 and the ImageReward benchmark score from 0.87 to 0.96, achieving a win rate of 66%. Without extra optimization, Infinity generates a high-quality 1024×1024 image in 0.8 seconds, making it 2.6× faster than SD3-Medium and establishing it as the fastest text-to-image model.
