Researchers have developed ZeNOVA, a new method for aligning generative models that operates without requiring gradient information. This approach is particularly useful in "black-box" reward scenarios where direct gradient access is not possible. ZeNOVA utilizes annealed soft-value guidance, manifold-constrained hyperspherical Langevin dynamics, and Metropolis-Hastings jumping to achieve stable and efficient optimization of initial noise. Experiments on image and video generative models indicate that ZeNOVA surpasses existing gradient-free methods in stability and reward optimization. AI
