The work revisits REPA-E, a representative approach to improving latent diffusability via semantic alignment or joint tokenizer-diffusion training, and reports a finding about that method. The paper argues an effective visual tokenizer must preserve image fidelity while producing latents that downstream diffusion models can learn efficiently.", "body_md": "An effective visual tokenizer must preserve image fidelity while producing latents that downstream diffusion models can learn efficiently.
