This AI Paper from Peking University and ByteDance Introduces VAR: Surpassing Diffusion Models in Speed and Efficiency

Artificial Intelligence and Autoregressive Models

Autoregressive (AR) large language models (LLMs) like the GPT series are advancing general artificial intelligence (AGI) through self-supervised learning.

Language Models

AR models are scalable and can learn from massive amounts of data, moving us closer to AGI.

Computer Vision

Models like VQGAN and DALL-E have shown the potential of AR models in image generation, though further exploration of scaling laws is needed.

Visual AutoRegressive (VAR) Modeling

Peking University researchers introduced VAR modeling, which significantly enhances AR baselines, especially in the ImageNet 256×256 benchmark.

Empirical Validation

VAR models have promising scaling laws and zero-shot generalization capabilities, marking a breakthrough in visual autoregressive model performance.

Conclusion

The work introduces a new visual generative framework and aims to bridge the gap between language models and computer vision.
