Flash-BoN at ECCV 2026: rethinking diffusion inference-time scaling with wall-clock time as the budget

RisingSayak · x · 2026-09-13

The Flash-BoN paper was presented at ECCV 2026. The core idea: replace number of function evaluations (NFE) with wall-clock time as the metric for diffusion inference-time scaling — spending bounded time exploring more candidates. It works broadly: across T2I and T2V, different model scales, complements techniques like BFS and ReflectionFlow, and even improves Flow-GRPO convergence. The idea originated from a conversation with Ruchit Rawal at ICCV'25 in Hawai'i.
