SCALAR++: Scale‑Aware Visual Autoregressive Learning for Efficient Controllable Image Generation

SCALAR++ introduces a scale‑wise conditional decoding mechanism and a layer‑shared LoRA‑based conditioning strategy that cut parameters by 43% and memory by 39% while achieving equal or better image quality and control precision than diffusion baselines, as demonstrated on ImageNet and MultiGen‑20M benchmarks.
