This research proposes Next-Embedding Predictive Autoregression (NEPA), a method where diffusion transformers dynamically predict conditioning embeddings at each denoising step rather than reusing a static prompt. By adapting the conditioning signal to the current noisy state, NEPA-DiT-XL achieves an FID of 1.32 on ImageNet using roughly one-third of the training compute required by previous methods like REPA. The approach demonstrates that autoregressive prediction of continuous embeddings can significantly improve generation efficiency without sacrificing fidelity.
Embedding Prediction Helps Image Generation
arXiv:2610.02203v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In diffusion transformers, a class label or a text prompt is embedded once, and the same condition is reused at every denoising step. We ask whether predicted embeddings can serve as this condition instead. Next-Embedding Predictive Autoregression (NEPA) trains a Transformer to predict the next continuous embedding in a sequence. In generation, the clean image follows the noisy image, so its embeddings are the next embeddings after the condition and the noisy image. We train a NEPA model to predict them all at once with Multi-Embedding Prediction, and in Embedding Conditioned Generation, a DiT generator is conditioned on these predictions, recomputed at every denoising step, so the conditioning signal adapts to the current noisy state. Experiments on class-conditional ImageNet $256\times256$ study the condition of the generator, the design of Multi-Embedding Prediction, and the scaling of both models. The NEPA model adds a second network to every sampling step; with it, and combined with REPA, our final model, NEPA-DiT-XL, reaches an FID of 1.32 using about a third of the training compute of REPA.
