New generative models unify flows and achieve diffusion-level image quality

Researchers have developed a new generative modeling framework utilizing cumulative flow maps for long-range transport in probability space. This approach aims to connect local updates with finite-time transport, allowing generative models to reason about global state transitions. The framework supports few-step and even one-step generation with minimal changes to existing models and no increase in capacity, demonstrating effectiveness across various tasks like image and SDF generation with reduced inference costs.
