Guidance Breaks the Fitted Operator: A Terminal-Fitted Repair for Classifier-Free Guidance

摘要

Classifier-free guidance (CFG) is the standard way to strengthen class-conditioning in diffusion and flow-matching samplers, yet at large guidance it oversaturates and destabilizes, symptoms practitioners suppress with more steps or limited-interval schedules. We analyze CFG through an asymptotic-preserving, numerical-analysis lens. Building on a recent result that the deterministic DDIM step is the unique fitted operator for the unguided terminal layer, exact on the final small-sigma stretch of sampling, we show that guidance re-stiffens exactly the discriminative subspace to an anomalous exp
