arXiv:2602.08646v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We propose a gradient preconditioning method that makes reward-guided generation with one-step generative models both efficient and reliable. Test-time noise optimization can unlock substantially better reward-guided generations from pretrained generative models, but it is prone to reward hacking that degrades quality and is often too slow for practical use. We precondition reward gradients by projecting them onto a carefully designed white Gaussian noise feasible set, a compact spectral set with blockwise norm constraints that tightly captur
The continuous drive for more efficient and reliable generative AI highlights the current bottlenecks in large model deployment and application.
Improved reward-guided generation directly enhances AI agent capabilities and the practical utility of generative models, accelerating their integration into real-world systems.
The efficiency and reliability of reward-guided generative AI improve, making it more feasible for complex, practical applications where speed and quality are critical.
