🚨In our NeurIPS paper, we bring encoder-decoders back.. for diffusion language models! ⚡️Encoder-decoders make diffusion sampling fast: a small (fast) decoder denoises tokens progressively and a large (slower) encoder represents clean context.

The latent-vs-pixel debate misses the point. GPT Image 2 shows what users notice: pixel-level fidelity. Latent models show what scales: compact semantic structure. We connect them by replacing VAE/RAE decoders with a Pixel Diffusion Decoder. Code and Model available: 🧵(1/N)

Speed and quality can finally coexist in diffusion-based language generation. Introducing DiDi-Instruct, a Discrete Diffusion Divergence Instruct method that distills a pre-trained discrete diffusion language model (dLLM) into a few-step student for ultra-fast generation. Built on integral KL-divergence minimization, DiDi-Instruct achieves up to 64× faster decoding, surpasses both its teacher and GPT-2, and cuts training time by 20×.

LLM-grounded Diffusion: Enhancing Prompt Understanding of Text-to-Image Diffusion Models with Large Language Models paper page: github: Recent advancements in text-to-image generation with diffusion models have yielded remarkable results synthesizing highly realistic and diverse images. However, these models still encounter difficulties when generating images from prompts that demand spatial or common sense reasoning. We propose to equip diffusion models with enhanced reasoning capabilities by using off-the-shelf pretrained large language models (LLMs) in a novel two-stage generation process. First, we adapt an LLM to be a text-guided layout generator through in-context learning. When provided with an image prompt, an LLM outputs a scene layout in the form of bounding boxes along with corresponding individual descriptions. Second, we steer a diffusion model with a novel controller to generate images conditioned on the layout. Both stages utilize frozen pretrained models without any LLM or diffusion model parameter optimization. We validate the superiority of our design by demonstrating its ability to outperform the base diffusion model in accurately generating images according to prompts that necessitate both language and spatial reasoning. Additionally, our method naturally allows dialog-based scene specification and is able to handle prompts in a language that is not well-supported by the underlying diffusion model.

👀Humans compare images by looking back and forth. Many open-weight VLMs encode each image independently, and defer comparison to the LM. We introduce SVE: Stateful Visual Encoders for Vision-Language Models, where the visual encoder itself becomes change-aware. 🌐Project: 📰Paper: 💻Code: 1/n

🍺 LagerNVS (CVPR 2026) 🍺 LagerNVS is a generalizable, feed-forward, real-time Novel View Synthesis network which - performs rendering in real time, - generalizes to in-the-wild data, - works with and without known source cameras, - sets a new state-of-the-art among deterministic methods, - can be paired with a diffusion decoder for generative extrapolation. LagerNVS shows that 3D biases are useful for Novel View Synthesis but explicit 3D representations are not required to achieve them. We use 3D biases in (1) architecture design and (2) pre-training: (1) In NVS with explicit 3D representations (3DGS, NeRF) reconstruction is typically difficult and slow, but rendering is much faster and simpler. We mimic this process in the network design: we use a large (1B params) encoder and a small, lightweight decoder (ViT-B). This allows increasing the network capacity while still achieving real-time rendering. (2) The encoder, initialized from VGGT, was pre-trained with 3D reconstruction objectives, making the initial features 3D aware. Both substantially improve performance. Project page: Code: Paper: Models: Work done with Jianyuan Minghao Chen Christian Rupprecht and Andrea Vedaldi
