A new research paper titled "Rethinking Prediction Horizons: Decoupling Model Queries from State Updates in Few-Step MeanFlow" explores the MeanFlow model's prediction capabilities. The study decouples the interval queried from the model from the duration of the state update, finding that the prediction horizon's effectiveness depends on query position and the states involved. Experiments on CIFAR-10 and ImageNet-256 datasets showed that while a longer horizon can improve results at certain steps, a fixed four-query rule reduced mean FID without retraining, suggesting prediction horizon is a state-sensitive inference control rather than a universally superior method.
