Learning Representations to Guide Pixel Diffusion Transformers

Motivated by these insights, we introduce Representation Guidance (RG), which directly forms and exploits internal representations while retaining a plain Transformer architecture.

Key points

  • Visual representations are largely developed for understanding, yet what makes them useful for generation remains unclear.
  • We study this question in pixel diffusion transformers and uncover two key insights.
  • Second, architectural separation with specialized pixel decoders mainly redistributes semantic and spatial modeling, without necessarily yielding representations better suited to generation.
  • RG learns clearer semantic and spatial structure while scaling efficiently in both parameters and computation.
