arXiv:2607. 06114v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diffusion and flow matching models generate high-quality samples, but their ODE samplers often need tens to hundreds of neural function evaluations (NFEs).
arXiv:2602. 20360v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Flow-based generative methods offer a simple and effective framework for high-fidelity generation, yet pretrained flow models are rarely used in their vanilla conditional form: in image generation, samples without guidance often appear diffuse and lack fine-grained detail.
arXiv:2608. 05600v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: 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.
arXiv:2608. 11235v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diffusion language models (DLMs) update many tokens in parallel, yet practical decoders often use a fixed denoising horizon.
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.
arXiv:2601. 21542v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Flow Matching (FM) models have emerged as a leading paradigm for high-fidelity synthesis.
arXiv:2607. 21372v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Score Entropy Discrete Diffusion (SEDD) parameterizes discrete reverse processes with unconstrained positive score ratios.
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.
arXiv:2607. 07665v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Classifier-free guidance (CFG) is the standard way to strengthen class-conditioning in diffusion and flow-matching samplers, yet at large guidance it oversaturates and destabilizes, symptoms practitioners suppress with more steps or limited-interval schedules.
arXiv:2607. 23667v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A flow surrogate validated on a simple regime is often taken as evidence that the approach will carry to a richer one.
arXiv:2607. 04113v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diffusion and flow-matching samplers integrate a learned probability-flow ODE from a large noise scale down to a small terminal floor $\sigma_{\min}$, at which the score is stiff and the flow develops a boundary layer.
arXiv:2607. 24507v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Existing methods mainly adapt pretrained autoregressive (AR) language models to masked diffusion, whereas we directly adapt them to uniform-noise diffusion, where every token remains editable during sampling.
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.
