Rethinking vanilla pixel diffusion transformers: capacity limits and a high-frequency deficit in JiT

CSProfKGD · x · 2026-10-21

A research thread digs into JiT-style pixel diffusion transformers and identifies two core problems: limited model capacity pushes models toward low-dimensional targets like x₀-prediction, and the JiT architecture exhibits a high-frequency deficit in generated outputs. The authors systematically investigate both issues, asking how to improve vanilla pixel diffusion transformers without complicating the backbone.
