Implicit Generation and Generalization Methods for Energy-Based Models

OpenAI published research on stable and scalable training of energy-based models (EBMs), achieving sample quality competitive with GANs at low temperatures while retaining mode coverage guarantees of likelihood-based models. The approach uses iterative compute during generation to continually refine outputs. This work positions EBMs as a promising alternative generative modeling paradigm bridging GANs and likelihood-based models.

Learning Concepts with Energy Functions

OpenAI presents an energy-based model capable of learning abstract spatial concepts—such as 'near,' 'above,' and 'between'—from only five demonstrations using sets of 2D points. The model generalizes across domains, transferring concepts learned in a 2D particle environment to control tasks in a 3D physics-based robot simulation. The work demonstrates few-shot concept acquisition and cross-domain transfer via energy function representations.
