PixelDiT2: Representation-Grounded Pixel Diffusion Transformers

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 21, 2026 · UTC

Recent advances in pixel-space diffusion models have narrowed the image quality gap with latent-space diffusion, but still converge more slowly and lag behind in final image quality. We argue that a key reason is the lack of an explicit representation prior: unlike latent diffusion, which usually denoises in a compact and structured latent space, pixel diffusion needs to learn denoising-friendly representations and pixel generation simultaneously from raw RGB space. To address this problem, we propose PixelDiT2, an end-to-end pixel-space diffusion model designed to decouple representation lear
