The paper investigates why Diffusion Transformers perform well when predicting clean data but poorly when predicting noise or velocity. It introduces the concept of *residual-stream burden*, explaining that noisy targets force the residual stream to carry noise-dependent variation through the network, limiting representation flexibility. Experiments show that spectral concentration of clean targets reduces this burden, and the authors propose Spatially Indexed Hyper-Connections (SiHC) to expand residual bandwidth, achieving state‑of‑the‑art FID on ImageNet.

Large-scale visual generators are increasingly capable but costly to train, fine-tune, and deploy. We introduce Mage-Flow, a compact 4B-scale generative stack for efficient text-to-image generation and instruction-based image editing.
