Researchers have introduced Priming Models, a novel two-stage framework for training one-step generative models. This approach first trains models on a reconstruction objective, such as denoising at a fixed noise level, before a feature-space distributional post-training phase. The key finding is that the initial reconstruction stage effectively simplifies distributional training. Priming Models demonstrate improved performance on the compute vs. generation quality trade-off across various tasks, including image generation and world modeling. Notably, on ImageNet at $256 \times 256$ resolution, they achieve state-of-the-art FID scores for one-step generators using significantly less training compute than previous methods. AI
