A Tilted Seesaw: Revisiting Autoencoder Trade-off for Controllable Diffusion
Pu Cao, Yiyang Ma, Feng Zhou +3
In latent diffusion models, the autoencoder (AE) is typically expected to balance two capabilities: faithful reconstruction and a generation-friendly latent space (e.g., low gFID).…

Preliminary Explorations with GPT-4o(mni) Native Image Generation
Pu Cao, Feng Zhou, Junyi Ji +8
Recently, the visual generation ability by GPT-4o(mni) has been unlocked by OpenAI. It demonstrates a very remarkable generation capability with excellent multimodal condition unde…

Exploring Position Encoding in Diffusion U-Net for Training-free High-resolution Image Generation
Feng Zhou, Pu Cao, Yiyang Ma +2
Denoising higher-resolution latents via a pre-trained U-Net leads to repetitive and disordered image patterns. Although recent studies make efforts to improve generative quality by…
