A new research paper explores why deterministic few-step generation methods succeed with image latents but fail with text latents. The study identifies geometric properties, specifically decoder sharpness at categorical readouts, as the primary cause of failure in text generation, rather than training or scaling issues. The research proposes two diagnostic tools, DABI and CCI, to measure readout sharpness and categorical commitment, finding that text decoders amplify perturbations significantly more than image decoders. The paper also outlines mechanisms like categorical commitment and stochastic re-injection as ways to overcome these limitations, detailing an accuracy-depth-stiffness tradeoff for deterministic-continuous models.
