PiD is a pixel diffusion decoder that performs latent-to-pixel conversion and 4-8x upsampling in one generative step, enabling early stopping of latent diffusion and achieving sub-second 2048x2048 decoding with claimed better fidelity than cascaded baselines.

RAE v2 reaches gFID 1.06 on ImageNet-256 in 80 epochs by combining multi-layer encoder sums, complementary REPA targets, and free guidance via output reparameterization.
SiLD is a score-matching framework that learns both manifold projection and intrinsic density from a single objective, with proven sample complexity depending only on intrinsic dimension.
Fine-tuning VLMs to output action sequences for puzzles causes emergent internal visual representations that improve performance when integrated into reasoning.
Prior-Aligned AutoEncoders shape latent manifolds with spatial coherence, local continuity, and global semantics to improve latent diffusion, achieving SOTA gFID 1.03 on ImageNet 256x256 with up to 13x faster convergence.
Latent diffusability is quantified by decomposing the MMSE rate along diffusion trajectories into Fisher Information and Fisher Information Rate, with three geometric penalties (dimensional compression, tangential distortion, curvature injection) identified as sources of failure.
Lens is a 3.8B-parameter text-to-image model that reaches competitive or superior performance to >6B-parameter systems using 19.3% of the training compute of Z-Image through a densely captioned 800M dataset, multi-resolution batching, semantic VAE, strong language encoder, RL fine-tuning, and 4-step
SAME is a semantically regularized transformer autoencoder for music that delivers 4096x compression with open-weights release of large and small variants.
