Visualizing Rectified Flows: A Deep Dive into Flow Matching
burny_tech · x · 2026-09-02
Alec Helbling published a blog post visualizing Rectified Flow. It uses 2D toy distributions to illustrate the geometric properties of flow-based models, explaining why some generative models require hundreds of steps while others need only a few. The article also explores methods to accelerate sampling and reduce inference costs.
