Energy-Guided Flow Matching

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.

CAT-Flow: Curvature-Adaptive sTeps for Flow Matching

The paper introduces CAT-Flow, a pair of lightweight, training‑free algorithms—CAT‑OV and CAT‑OT—that adapt step‑sizes during Flow Matching inference by estimating curvature in time or state space. These methods avoid extra neural evaluations and achieve constant‑order truncation error bounds. Experiments show that CAT‑OV and CAT‑OT improve image quality metrics across four text‑to‑image Flow Matching models, cutting the required generation steps by up to 40%.
