UltraText Bench: A Comprehensive Bilingual Benchmark for Evaluating Visual Text Rendering in Image Generation

Dense visual text requires image generators to reproduce long strings across multiple regions with correct placement and legibility. As short-string rendering improves, evaluation must test sustained performance across more demanding scenes. We introduce UltraText Bench, a bilingual benchmark for prompt-only generation...

Manifold Drift in Flow Preference Optimization: A Root Cause of Reward Hacking

Preference optimization is a standard alignment method for generative models, yet extending it to continuous-time dynamics remains non-trivial. In flow matching, reward-driven updates modify transport trajectories without an inherent constraint to the pretrained data manifold and can move terminal samples off the pretr...

FlowCPO: A Unified Divergence View of Preference Alignment for Flow Models

This work introduces FlowCPO, an offline forward-KL objective that uses both preferred and dispreferred samples without online rollouts and shows under explicit regularity conditions that the forward-KL objective is bounded by a contrastive flow matching loss, yielding a tractable surrogate on fixed data.

LLaDA-Image: Building Strong Image Generators with Fully Open Training Recipes

We introduce LLaDA-Image, a unified framework that pairs a 6B Diffusion Transformer (DiT) trained from scratch with a frozen vision-language understanding module built on the LLaDA2.0-Mini diffusion language model backbone. Instead of relying heavily on paired image-text data from the beginning, we first build a strong...

Once Poisoned, Arbitrarily Controlled: A Programmable Backdoor in VLMs

This work shows that a single poisoning phase can implant a programmable backdoor into a VLM, allowing an attacker to choose previously unseen target-caption semantics at inference time and synthesize corresponding stealthy triggers on demand.
