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.

The paper introduces dFlowGRPO, a reinforcement learning framework tailored for discrete flow models (DFMs). It generalizes previous work on diffusion large language models by supporting various probability paths and non-masked source distributions, and formulates denoising as a Markov decision process that leverages transition rates and posterior models. Experiments on the multimodal DFM FUDOKI show that dFlowGRPO outperforms existing GRPO methods on text‑to‑image generation and matches continuous flow models on multimodal understanding tasks.

High-fidelity image generation faces a trade-off between speed and quality. Diffusion models produce strong visuals but require costly iterative sampling.
arXiv:2607. 00535v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Few-step flow-map generators, such as consistency models and MeanFlow, accelerate sampling by directly learning long-range transport maps between noise and data.
