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.

AGG: Jacobian-Aggregated Group Gradient for Efficient GRPO Training of Diffusion Models

Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) is a powerful reinforcement learning algorithm for aligning generative models with human preferences. While successful in large language models~\cite{shao2024deepseekmathpushinglimitsmathematical}, its extension to diffusion and flow matching models introduces a severe computational bottleneck: gradients must be back-propagated through the high-capacity DiT backbone at \emph{every} timestep of the sampling trajectory, making high-resolution text-to-image (T2I) training prohibitively expensive.

Velocity Scheduled Flow Matching

arXiv:2607. 11442v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Flow matching trains a neural network to regress the conditional velocity along a linear interpolant between noise and data, and the number of network evaluations~(NFE) sets the cost of sampling.

Any-OPD: Heterogeneous On-Policy Distillation for Flow-Matching Models via Representation-Space Bridging

arXiv:2608. 03316v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: On-policy distillation, in which a teacher corrects samples that the student itself generates, presupposes that the two models speak the same language: identical VAE latents, matching architectures, and a common timestep grid.

Velocity Scheduled Flow Matching

Flow matching trains a neural network to regress the conditional velocity along a linear interpolant between noise and data, and the number of network evaluations~(NFE) sets the cost of sampling. The straight-line interpolant carries an implicit choice: the sample moves at constant speed throughout the trajectory.
