RAEv2: How a Simple Extra Operation Makes Image Generation Train Ten Times Faster

The RAEv2 framework replaces traditional VAEs by summing multiple layers of pretrained vision encoders, combines RAE with REPA for complementary semantic and spatial gains, and leverages free guidance, achieving up to ten‑fold faster convergence, higher image quality, and lower compute on ImageNet‑256 diffusion training.

LARYBench: An ImageNet‑Scale Benchmark Unlocks Embodied AI Generalization

Researchers introduce LARYBench, the first large‑scale benchmark for evaluating implicit action representations in embodied AI, providing over 1.2 million annotated video clips, a unified metric for motion semantics, and extensive experiments showing that general visual encoders outperform specialized robot models in action understanding and control.
