Self-conditioned Flow Map Language Models via Fixed-point Flows
Quick summary
arXiv:2607.00714v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Self-conditioning is a core technique that enhances continuous flow-based language models, where the model learns to denoise generated text by conditioning on its own denoising estimate. While empirically successful, its performance improvements are poorly understood. Moreover, there is growing interest in the use of few-step generators based on flow maps, for which how to leverage self-conditioning is unclear. Here, we show that flow language models with self-conditioning perform a fixed-point iteration that improves generation through
