FlowLOB: Efficient and Controllable Limit Order Book Generation with Flow Matching

arXiv:2608. 13096v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Limit order book (LOB) simulators are most useful to practitioners when they combine realistic market dynamics, computationally efficient sampling, controllable scenario generation, and the ability to generalize beyond the instruments seen during training---properties that existing agent-based and deep generative simulators provide only partially.

LC-GRPO: Bridging Train-Inference Gap for Flow-Based GRPO with Langevin Correction

Flow-based generative models are typically sampled by solving a deterministic ordinary differential equation (ODE), whereas online reinforcement learning requires stochastic rollouts for policy exploration and optimization. Existing GRPO methods for flow models therefore replace the inference-time ODE with a stochastic differential equation (SDE) during training.

Teaching Diffusion to Speculate Left-to-Right

Large language models (LLMs) achieve remarkable performance across a wide range of tasks, but their autoregressive decoding process incurs substantial inference costs due to inherently sequential token generation. Speculative decoding addresses this bottleneck by employing a lightweight draft model to propose multiple future tokens that are subsequently verified in parallel by a larger target model.

RAPiD: Reward-Guided Consistency Distillation of Diffusion Planners for Real-Time Autonomous Driving

arXiv:2602. 07339v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Diffusion-based trajectory planners can model multi-modal driving behavior, but their iterative denoising process introduces a latency bottleneck for real-time closed-loop deployment.

Reinforcement Fine-Tuning of Flow-Matching Policies for Vision-Language-Action Models

arXiv:2510. 09976v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models such as OpenVLA, Octo, and $\pi_0$ have shown strong generalization by leveraging large-scale demonstrations, yet their performance is still fundamentally constrained by the quality and coverage of supervised data.

Friction-Augmented Drifting Models for Resource-Efficient Domain Translation

arXiv:2604. 18194v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Single-step generators promise high-fidelity synthesis at a fraction of the inference and training cost of ordinary differential equation (ODE)-based flow models, a central concern when compute is limited.
