arXiv:2608. 19540v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Training fast generators on new domains with limited data remains challenging for two reasons.
Training fast generators on new domains with limited data remains challenging for two reasons. First, adapting a pretrained diffusion or flow model to a new domain leaves its costly multi-step sampling unaddressed, and existing acceleration methods are tied to the source parameterization--$ε$, $x$, $v$, or $u$--leaving heterogeneous pretrained models with no common acceleration target.
NextGAN introduces a new training approach for GANs that regresses the critic’s input gradient onto displacements between paired reference and generated features in frozen representation spaces, effectively adding a gradient‑energy penalty while keeping the generator’s standard update. This method scales to very large pre‑trained image and video generators (up to 14 B parameters) without extra losses or teacher signals, achieving state‑of‑the‑art one‑step FIDs on ImageNet and superior VBench scores for text‑to‑video generation with a single 1.3 B model.

The paper introduces continuous adversarial flow models, a continuous-time flow framework trained with an adversarial objective that replaces the fixed mean-squared-error criterion of flow matching. By incorporating a learned discriminator, the method guides training toward a different generalized distribution, yielding samples more closely aligned with the target data distribution. Applied as a post‑training step, it markedly improves ImageNet 256px generation metrics—reducing the guidance‑free FID of latent‑space SiT from 8.26 to 3.63 and of pixel‑space JiT from 7.17 to 3.57—and also enhances guided generation and text‑to‑image benchmarks.
