We introduce Generator Matching, a modality-agnostic framework for generative modeling using arbitrary Markov processes. Generators characterize the infinitesimal evolution of a Markov process, which we leverage for generative modeling in a similar vein to flow matching: we construct conditional generators which generate single data points, then learn to approximate the marginal generator which generates the full data distribution. We show that Generator Matching unifies various generative modeling methods, including diffusion models, flow matching and discrete diffusion models. Furthermore, it expands the design space to new and unexplored Markov processes such as jump processes. Finally, Generator Matching enables the construction of superpositions of Markov generative models and enables the construction of multimodal models in a rigorous manner. We empirically validate our method on image and multimodal generation, e.g. showing that superposition with a jump process improves performance.

  1. Variable-Length Generative Protein Design via Generalized Poisson Flow

    cs.LG 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Generalized Poisson Flow learns variable protein length via an inhomogeneous Poisson rate plus within-length flow matching, with KL bounds and gains on structure, sequence, motif, and peptide tasks.

  2. Multimodal Crystal Flow: Any-to-Any Modality Generation for Unified Crystal Modeling

    cs.LG 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    MCFlow uses decoupled flow time axes for atom types and crystal structures so a single model handles crystal structure prediction, de novo generation, and atom-type generation.

  3. Transition Matching: Scalable and Flexible Generative Modeling

    cs.LG 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Transition Matching unifies flow matching and continuous autoregressive generation as discrete-time Markov processes, with three variants that improve text-to-image quality and speed.

  4. Diffuse Everything: Multimodal Diffusion Models on Arbitrary State Spaces

    cs.LG 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A unified diffusion framework with per-modality noise clocks lets one model generate images, text, and tabular data jointly or conditionally in their native spaces.

  5. Corrector Sampling in Language Models

    cs.LG 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A training and sampling method that lets autoregressive LLMs resample earlier tokens in a small window, improving reasoning and coding benchmark scores by about 10% relative after a 100B-token fine-tuning.

  6. Solving Inverse Problems via Diffusion-Based Priors: An Approximation-Free Ensemble Sampling Approach

    cs.LG 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A weighted-particle sampler evolves the posterior through the diffusion model's reverse dynamics, with theoretical error bounds and improved image reconstructions.
