Spherical Leech Quantization for Visual Tokenization and Generation
This paper introduces Spherical Leech Quantization (A24-SQ), a novel non-parametric quantization method for visual tokenization and generation. Grounded in lattice coding theory, A24-SQ leverages the highly symmetrical and evenly distributed Leech lattice to improve upon existing methods like Binary Spherical Quantization (BSQ). It achieves better reconstruction quality, consumes fewer bits, and simplifies training for discrete auto-encoders and autoregressive image generation models, scaling to large codebooks (~200K) with oracle-like performance on ImageNet-1k.

Explores the theoretical underpinnings and practical applications of various non-parametric quantization (NPQ) techniques, unifying them under a lattice coding framework. Highlights how geometric properties of lattices, especially densest sphere packing, influence performance and training efficiency. Introduces Spherical Leech Quantization (A24-SQ) as a superior variant.
Details the integration of A24-SQ into modern discrete auto-encoders for image reconstruction and state-of-the-art autoregressive generation models. Discusses the benefits of A24-SQ, such as simplified training without auxiliary loss terms, improved rate-distortion trade-off, and scalability to very large codebooks for image tokenization and generation tasks.
A24-SQ: A Leap in Reconstruction Quality
rFID: 0.83 A24-SQ rFID (lower is better) vs. BSQ (1.14)Spherical Leech Quantization (A24-SQ) achieves an rFID of 0.83 for image reconstruction, significantly outperforming Binary Spherical Quantization (BSQ)'s rFID of 1.14. This 27.2% reduction in rFID indicates a substantial improvement in reconstruction quality and fidelity, leveraging A24-SQ's highly symmetrical and evenly distributed codebook on the hypersphere. This gain is achieved with slightly fewer bits (17.58 vs 18).

Boosting Image Generation with Large Vocabularies
Challenge: State-of-the-art autoregressive image generation models are often limited by medium-sized visual vocabularies (1K-10K), restricting their diversity and fidelity. Existing methods struggled to scale codebooks effectively without complex training tricks or codebook collapse.
Solution: By integrating A24-SQ, which naturally supports a codebook of 196,560, into a discrete visual autoregressive generation model (Infinity-CC), we enabled the use of a significantly larger visual vocabulary. The high symmetry and even distribution of the Leech lattice points facilitate stable training and better utilization of the vast codebook without needing complex index subgrouping or bitwise prediction techniques.
Result: For the first time, a discrete visual autoregressive generation model was trained with a codebook of 196,560 without bells and whistles, achieving an ImageNet-1k generation FID of 1.82. This performance is close to the oracle (1.78 FID) and demonstrates superior precision and recall, significantly enhancing the diversity and quality of generated images by better capturing visual nuances.
