Föllmer processes are variationally optimal among generative diffusions because they minimize the impact of drift estimation error on path-space KL divergence, rendering different interpolation schedules statistically equivalent.

Flow map policies enable fast one-step inference for flow-based RL policies, and FMQ provides an optimal closed-form Q-guided target for offline-to-online adaptation under trust-region constraints, achieving SOTA performance.
STMD distills the full transition map of diffusion sampling SDEs into a conditional Mean Flow model to enable fast one- or few-step stochastic sampling without teacher models or bi-level optimization.
ABC enables any-subset autoregressive generation of continuous stochastic processes via non-Markovian diffusion bridges that track physical time and allow path-dependent conditioning.
Random-bridges act as conditioned stochastic transports that generate high-quality samples in significantly fewer steps than traditional approaches while maintaining competitive FID scores.
Discrete flow matching on Z_m^d achieves non-asymptotic KL bounds for early-stopped targets and explicit TV convergence to the true target under an approximation error assumption, with improved scaling in dimension d and vocabulary size m.
Flow Matching is a generative modeling framework with mathematical foundations, design choices, extensions, and open-source PyTorch code for applications like image and text generation.
