Recent diffusion editors perform diverse instruction-based edits while conditioning on the source image at every denoising step. Yet persistent source-image conditioning can limit how fully an edit is executed and how natural the result appears, especially when the target scene diverges substantially from the input.
Despite remarkable progress in text-guided image editing, generative models frequently fail to preserve visual object consistency, defined as the preservation of a subject's key attributes throughout the editing process. We address this limitation through three contributions.

arXiv:2603. 12893v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) has become a standard technique for post-training diffusion-based image synthesis models, as it enables learning from reward signals to explicitly improve desirable aspects such as image quality and prompt alignment.

Diffusion and flow matching models have made significant progress in text-to-image generation, yet high computation, quadratic complexity, and large memory footprint hinder high-resolution synthesis and edge deployment. We propose Nexus, which integrates sparse architecture, linear complexity, and low-bit quantization.
