1. Apple Research Tackles Outlier Tokens in Diffusion Transformers

Apple. Apple ML researchers published work on taming outlier tokens in Diffusion Transformers, showing that both encoder and denoiser components produce high-norm tokens that attract disproportionate attention while carrying limited local information. They introduce Dual-Stage Registers (DSR), which use trained or test-time registers to suppress these outliers and improve output quality across standard and text-to-image generation. Source
