Understanding the relationship between deep visual representations and the human visual system is a fundamental challenge in computational neuroscience. While modern vision models achieve strong performance in image recognition, their correspondence with the hierarchical organization of the human visual cortex remains an open question.

The paper proposes Predictive-State Flows (PSF), a new architecture for continuous diffusion language models that separates the diffusion prior’s role to generate high‑level predictive states and the decoder’s role to resolve token‑level choices. PSF partitions sequences into blocks, uses a rectified‑flow prior to produce predictive states, and then a block‑causal decoder generates all blocks in parallel, reducing token‑level sequential depth. Experiments on OpenWebText show that a 197M‑parameter PSF model with eight predictive states achieves a generative perplexity of 22.8 and a MAUVE@512 of 0.93 while using far fewer FLOPs than a comparable ELF‑B model.
The paper investigates attention sinks—tokens or positions that attract disproportionate attention—in text-to-image transformers, comparing bidirectional diffusion models and causal autoregressive models. It finds that both model types exhibit attention sinks, but with distinct patterns: autoregressive models focus on the first and global tokens, while diffusion models develop sinks near modality boundaries, within text regions, and at spatial corners. Perturbation experiments show that sink-related heads influence generation more than non-sink heads, and introducing register tokens can redistribute attention without harming performance.
