The recent advancements in text-to-image generation have seen a shift towards more integrated and controllable models, emphasizing both the quality of text rendering and the flexibility in handling multiple modalities. Innovations in autoregressive models and normalizing flows have enabled more precise control over typography and style, as well as the ability to generate high-fidelity images directly from raw data. Additionally, the introduction of multi-modal rectified flows has expanded the scope of generative tasks to include text-to-audio and audio-to-image synthesis, demonstrating a significant leap in the adaptability and versatility of these models. These developments not only enhance the accuracy and aesthetic quality of generated images but also open new avenues for creative and practical applications in design and multimedia production.

Noteworthy papers include 'AMO Sampler: Enhancing Text Rendering with Overshooting,' which introduces a novel sampler that significantly improves text rendering accuracy without compromising image quality, and 'JetFormer: An Autoregressive Generative Model of Raw Images and Text,' which presents a unified model capable of generating high-fidelity images and text without relying on separately trained components.
