## News

- We release **TwinFlow-Qwen-Image-v1.0**! And we are also working on **Z-Image-Turbo to make it more faster**!

## TwinFlow

### Overview

We introduce TwinFlow, a framework that realizes high-quality 1-step and few-step generation without the pipeline bloat.

Instead of relying on external discriminators or frozen teachers, TwinFlow creates an internal "twin trajectory". By extending the time interval to $t\in[−1,1]$, we utilize the negative time branch to map noise to "fake" data, creating a self-adversarial signal directly within the model.

Then, the model can rectify itself by minimizing the difference of the velocity fields between real trajectory and fake trajectory, i.e. the $\Delta_\mathrm{v}$. The rectification performs distribution matching as velocity matching, which gradually transforms the model into a 1-step/few-step generator.

Key Advantages:
- **One-model Simplicity.** We eliminate the need for any auxiliary networks. The model learns to rectify its own flow field, acting as the generator, fake/real score. No extra GPU memory is wasted on frozen teachers or discriminators during training.
- **Scalability on Large Models.** TwinFlow is **easy to scale on 20B full-parameter training** due to the one-model simplicity. In contrast, methods like VSD, SiD, and DMD/DMD2 require maintaining three separate models for distillation, which not only significantly increases memory consumption—often leading OOM, but also introduces substantial complexity when scaling to large-scale training regimes.
