arXiv:2606. 29287v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diffusion and continuous-flow generative models achieve high-quality generation, and their deterministic sampling can be formulated as solving learned ODE dynamics.

arXiv:2606. 00798v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Parameter compression of class-conditional diffusion models reveals an underexplored limitation in output-level distillation: the unconditional score branch remains unsupervised, leaving the classifier-free guidance gap underdetermined in the student.

arXiv:2606. 03820v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We develop a quantitative approximation framework for diffusion distillation, viewing few-step sampling as error propagation under compositions of learned flow maps.

arXiv:2602. 07345v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Distribution Matching Distillation (DMD) is a powerful acceleration paradigm, yet its stability is often compromised in Forbidden Zone, regions where the real teacher provides unreliable guidance while the fake teacher exerts insufficient repulsive force.

arXiv:2606. 27377v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern image generation demands a single model that unifies diverse capabilities, including text-to-image (T2I), local editing, and global editing.

arXiv:2606. 03620v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Self-distilled policy optimization (SDPO) has become a popular paradigm for LLM post-training, where a model learns from its own predictions conditioned on privileged information.

arXiv:2606. 30376v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Aligning generative flow models on continuous spaces via online reinforcement learning is constrained by intractable trajectory likelihoods.

arXiv:2608. 11544v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We propose CVaR-penalized Generative Particle Algorithm (CVaR-GPA), a robust, tail-agnostic algorithm for fine-tuning generative models to learn heavy-tailed distributions and capture extreme events, requiring no prior knowledge or estimation of the target's tail characteristics.

arXiv:2608. 09447v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: On-policy distillation (OPD) aligns a student with a teacher on trajectories sampled from the student itself, reducing the train-test state mismatch of offline distillation.
