Energy-Navigated Distillation Fixes Trajectory Bottlenecks in Discrete Flow Matching
September 15, 2026
A new distillation method argues that student underperformance in discrete flow matching stems from poor training trajectories rather than model capacity, proposing energy-navigated distillation to improve quality.
