WaiT for the Signal: Simple Frequency-Aware Flow-Matching
Quick summary
arXiv:2607.28760v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As image generation models scale to ever higher resolutions, global coherence, local detail, and texture fidelity become critical axes for generation quality. However, standard flow matching treats all spatial frequencies uniformly, ignoring the natural frequency hierarchy where high-frequency bands become indistinguishable from pure noise far earlier than coarse structures. We introduce WaiT, a Wavelet-aware image Transformer that decomposes generation into coarse and fine bands via lossless wavelets. True to its name, the high-frequency bands
