Saining Xie(@sainingxie):check out RAEv2 led by Jas. through extensive exps, we found some really intriguing behaviors showing why strong representation encoders are key for pixel decoders. spoiler: it’s not about hillclimbing fid; new metrics like ep@fid-k/fdr^k show there’s a lot more left to explore!

In Oct last year, Representation Autoencoders provided an elegant solution to unified tokenization for understanding and generation. Today we make them a bit more simple. a bit more general. Result: >10x faster convergence, better reconstruction, better generation. And yes we test them on T2I and world models :) Introducing RAEv2
