PotentialEP: Backprop-Free Training of CIFAR-Scale Generative Models via Equilibrium Propagation
Alex Gower
Generating an image with a diffusion or flow-matching model typically involves integrating a velocity field for hundreds of sequential steps. That computation suits a GPU poorly an…

FlowEqProp: Training Flow Matching Generative Models with Gradient Equilibrium Propagation
Alex Gower
We introduce Gradient Equilibrium Propagation (GradEP), a mechanism that extends Equilibrium Propagation (EP) to train energy gradients rather than energy minima, enabling EP to be…
