CIFAR-10 Benchmark (Image Generation)
Image Generation (synthesis) is the task of generating new images from an existing dataset.
- Unconditional generation refers to generating samples unconditionally from the dataset, i.e. p(y)
- Conditional image generation (subtask) refers to generating samples conditionally from the dataset, based on a label, i.e. p(y|x).
In this section, you can find state-of-the-art leaderboards for unconditional generation. For conditional generation, and other types of image generations, refer to the subtasks.

The chart needs JavaScript; the table below carries every value.
Direction inferred from the metric name, not from the archive: FID (lower is better). Not inferred (points only, no best-so-far line): IS, NFE. Points are placed at the row's paper date; 74 of 78 rows carry one.
Results archive 2025-07-28
Archive rows end at the archive snapshot, 2025-07-28: no result published after that date is in this table. Rank is the archive's row order at that snapshot; not re-ranked here. Metric values are the archive's strings. Column headers sort the table in your browser; each row keeps its archive rank.

Syntology Ran reads "N of M ran · U unverified": of the M code samples Syntology harvested from repositories linked to that row's paper (joined by arXiv id), N executed on a synthesized input and the other U = M−N are unverified (harvested, no recorded run). It counts code from repositories linked to that row's paper, not this result: the row's number was not reproduced and nothing here is a correctness claim. The other cell texts mean no graph line for the row: "linked, not harvested" (the archive links code, Syntology has not harvested it), "no code linked" (no code link in the archive), "not matched" (the row's paper URL matched no paper on this site). 36 rows have a graph line, from 35 distinct papers; 34 rows (33 papers) have at least one sample that ran. Counting each paper once: Syntology ran 456 of 774 samples; 318 unverified. Separately, 233 of those 774 are pointer-only (licence): the site points at that code rather than redistributing it, a licence property recorded for ran and unverified samples alike; each cell's tooltip carries the row's own pointer-only count.
