Recent image generators have demonstrated impressive photorealism and instruction-following capabilities in single-image generation and editing. However, constrained by their architectures, they cannot achieve interleaved generation (text-image sequence), which has crucial applications in visual narratives, guidance, and embodied manipulation.
DAGS introduces a lightweight, attention‑free conditioning scheme that disentangles appearance and geometry for a frozen image diffusion transformer (DiT), enabling high‑fidelity, temporally stable renders with independent control. Two small convolutional encoders generate per‑frame conditioning features, which are injected as learned residuals into the image tokens, avoiding the quadratic cost of attention. Coupled with a recurrent lighting stabilizer and a training‑free temporal guidance term, DAGS transforms a per‑frame image model into a streaming renderer that outperforms real‑time denoisers and diffusion renderers in PSNR and temporal stability while requiring far less compute than path tracing.
arXiv:2601. 21542v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Flow Matching (FM) models have emerged as a leading paradigm for high-fidelity synthesis.
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:2603.20186v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: In this work, we propose Image-to-Image Rectified Flow Reformulation (I2I-RFR), a practical plug-in reformulation that recasts standard I2I regress...
CF‑VLA introduces a two‑stage coarse‑to‑fine approach for vision‑language‑action policies, replacing multi‑step sampling with a coarse initialization that constructs an action‑aware starting point and a single‑step refinement that corrects residual errors. The coarse stage learns a conditional posterior over endpoint velocity to transform Gaussian noise into a structured initialization, while the fine stage performs a fixed‑time refinement. Experiments on CALVIN and LIBERO demonstrate that CF‑VLA achieves a strong efficiency‑performance trade‑off, reducing action sampling latency by 75.4 % and achieving an 83.0 % real‑robot success rate, outperforming existing NFE=2 methods and matching or surpassing NFE=10 baselines.
