ByteDance Seed's GenFirst: End-to-End Latent Generation Without Model Collapse

ByteDance Seed proposes GenFirst, training latent generative models end-to-end instead of the usual VAE-then-generator two-stage pipeline. By preserving entropy with asymmetric dynamics and a generation-first strategy, it avoids model collapse and achieves SOTA in image synthesis and unified multimodal generation.
