We really liked VAR's formulation towards image generation. During @KumbongHermann's internship, we noticed there were a few aspects to improve. The result: A better & faster multi-scale autoregressive image generation framework. Come to our poster at #CVPR2025 this week! 🥳.

Excited to be presenting our new work–HMAR: Efficient Hierarchical Masked Auto-Regressive Image Generation– at #CVPR2025 this week. VAR (Visual Autoregressive Modelling) introduced a very nice way to formulate autoregressive image generation as a next-scale prediction task (from

Long convs go geometric!. "Our model processes geometric context of 30k tokens 20× faster than equivariant transformer and allows 72× longer context with the same budget." . There simply isn't anything better than long convs for fast long context on multidim data. Beautiful! 😍.

ICML Spotlight 🚨 Equivariance is too slow and expensive, especially when you need global context. It makes us wonder if it even worths the cost, especially in high-dimensional problems? We present Geometric Hyena Networks — a simple equivariant model orders of magnitude more
