IB-Flow: Information Bottleneck-Guided CFG Distillation for Few-Step Text-to-Image Generation
Yiting Wang, Jingyi Zhang, Wenhu Zhang, Ke Chao, Yves Liang, Kun Cheng, et al.
While large-scale text-to-image generative models have achieved unprecedented visual performance, their inherent reliance on multi-step iterative solvers incurs severe inference latency. Few-step distillation targeting the Classifier-Free Guidance (CFG) trajectory has emerged as…
