arXiv:2606. 08672v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diffusion and flow generative models sample by integrating a learned ODE, but high quality still requires many sequential model evaluations.
arXiv:2606. 11075v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Aligning text-to-image flow matching models with human preferences via direct reward backpropagation is sample-efficient but hampered by two well-known pathologies: activations cannot be stored across the full sampling trajectory at modern model scale, and chained Jacobian products across steps inflate the reward gradient as it travels back to early indices.

FlashAR is a lightweight post‑training adaptation framework that converts a pre‑trained raster‑scan autoregressive image model into a highly parallel generator using two‑way next‑token prediction. It preserves the original training objective by keeping the horizontal head for row‑wise prediction and adding a lightweight vertical head for column‑wise prediction, with a learnable fusion gate to combine the two predictions. A two‑stage adaptation pipeline—first initializing the vertical head from the pre‑trained model and then jointly fine‑tuning—yields up to a 22.9× speedup for 512×512 image generation while using only 0.05% of the original training data.
ChebBooster is a training‑free extrapolation framework that accelerates Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) by using Chebyshev polynomial theory. It employs a Barycentric formulation for numerically stable evaluation and separates the process into an offline weight precomputation phase and a lightweight online application stage. Experiments on DiT‑XL/2, PixArt‑Σ, and FLUX.1‑dev show consistent visual quality gains and up to 3.68× latency speedup and 5.12× FLOPs reduction compared to existing training‑free baselines.
arXiv:2607. 27372v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The deep learning revolution, kicked off by AlexNet, taught us that end-to-end training beats decomposing a problem into hand-designed stages.
The paper introduces Flow Divergence Sampler (FDS), a training‑free method that refines intermediate states in flow‑matching models by using the divergence of the marginal velocity field to detect and correct misguidance toward low‑density regions. FDS operates during inference, requires no additional training, and can be applied as a plug‑and‑play module with standard solvers and existing flow backbones. Experiments show that FDS consistently improves fidelity in tasks such as text‑to‑image synthesis and inverse problems.

Pixel-space generative models bypass lossy latent compression, yet necessitate joint learning of global structure and fine-grained details in a high-dimensional space. Standard flow matching interpolates noise toward a fixed clean-image endpoint, leaving the spectral evolution to be learned implicitly.
arXiv:2607. 12171v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In rectified-flow-based generative models, the neural network can be trained to predict two different targets, such as the instantaneous velocity or the data endpoint, to perform denoising.
arXiv:2609.40287v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Physics-constrained generative models aim to generate physical fields that match a target distribution and satisfy prescribed constraints. However, enf...
The paper introduces the Variational Incompressible Optimal Transport (VIOT) operator, a generative neural operator that predicts divergence‑free velocity fields for incompressible density transport. VIOT combines a stream‑function representation, a regularized transport objective, and a Fourier Neural Operator backbone to amortize the solve across new source‑target pairs and grid resolutions. Experiments on 2D and 3D benchmarks show that VIOT produces full transport trajectories in seconds, achieving roughly a $10^4 imes$ speedup over per‑instance baselines that require hours of optimization.
