Key points

  • It draws a straight path from the model's initial estimate to the target, and trains each loop to hit a point-specific goal along that path.
  • The model keeps improving well beyond the number of loops it was trained with, so inference compute can be scaled freely at test time.
  • On ImageNet 256x256 it cut FID by 3.34 points while using about 60% fewer parameters and about 52% less inference compute.
  • It is a case of applying the test-time scaling idea to image generation at low cost.
