The paper introduces SCION, a single-model framework that jointly learns generative and self‑supervised representation tasks without relying on labels or pretrained encoders. SCION uses a pixel‑space encoder conditioned on a flow timestep and a shared embedding, training contrastive and flow‑matching objectives simultaneously with gradient‑norm balancing and stop‑gradient techniques. On ImageNet 256×256, SCION achieves state‑of‑the‑art FID scores (8.92 with JiT‑B and 5.89/3.47 with JiT‑L) surpassing prior class‑unconditional and pretrained‑conditioned methods.

The paper introduces Composite Subspace Flow Matching (CSFM), a representation learning method that minimizes variance by inverting a deterministic degradation curriculum across spectral, color, and illumination subspaces. CSFM uses hard temporal style truncation to constrain an encoder, encouraging it to ignore transient style artifacts while preserving persistent content. Experiments on CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100, and STL-10 demonstrate that CSFM achieves competitive discriminative transferability and generative synthesis, outperforming standard optimal transport flows in linear probing and few‑shot classification while maintaining a smooth latent space.
