This project (with Tianyu Zhao) asks whether that assumption is necessary — studying the question in three stages on a SiT-B/2 backbone trained on ImageNet-100 at 256px latent diffusion: validating the baseline ordering and layer placement, testing hard early-stop schedules for the projection term, and evaluating long-horizon cosine annealing over 250k steps.&lt;/p>
