Timestep sampling $p(t)$ is a central design choice in Flow Matching models, yet common practice increasingly favors static middle-biased distributions (e.g., Logit-Normal). We show that this choice induces a speed--quality trade-off:…
Diffusion and flow matching models generate samples by learning time-dependent vector fields whose integration transports noise to data, requiring tens to hundreds of network evaluations at inference. We instead learn the transport map…
