Gaussian prior
×no parameters
Draw every latent feature independently from a standard Gaussian: 1,024 latents of 768 features for each sequence.
- out
- [B batch, T positions, 768 d]
Explanation
Generation is unconditional: nothing but this noise and the noise the sampler adds at each step decides the text. The number of latents fixes the length, 1,024 tokens.

Direct evidence
Sampling starts from the prior with a zero self-conditioning estimate, uses the averaged denoiser, takes the adaptive grid when it is requested and the sampler has been updated and a uniform grid otherwise, steps N times carrying the state and the clean estimate, and returns the last step’s mean.
