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.
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.
Flow-based generative models are typically sampled by solving a deterministic ordinary differential equation (ODE), whereas online reinforcement learning requires stochastic rollouts for policy exploration and optimization. Existing GRPO methods for flow models therefore replace the inference-time ODE with a stochastic differential equation (SDE) during training.
