New framework uses model predictive control for flow-based generative models

Researchers have developed MPC-Flow, a novel framework for solving inverse problems using flow-based generative models. This method employs model predictive control to guide the model's dynamics, making conditional generation more practical. MPC-Flow offers a spectrum of guidance algorithms, some of which bypass the need for backpropagation through the generative model's trajectory. The framework has demonstrated strong performance and scalability on image restoration tasks, including in-painting, deblurring, and super-resolution, even with large-scale models like FLUX.2 on consumer hardware.

    Solving Inverse Problems with Flow-based Models via Model Predictive Control

    arXiv:2601.23231v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Flow-based generative models provide strong unconditional priors for inverse problems, but guiding their dynamics for conditional generation remains challenging. Recent work casts training-free conditional generation in fl…
