Flash-BoN Optimizes Diffusion Inference via Broad Exploration
July 4, 2026
Flash-BoN argues that wall-clock efficiency in diffusion models is better served by broad Best-of-N sampling rather than repeated intermediate verifier steps. The method prioritizes exploration over dense verification to improve text-to-image generation speed.
HOW THIS AFFECTS YOU
●
builderYou can reduce wall-clock latency in diffusion pipelines by shifting compute from verifiers to broader sampling.
