Glow: Better reversible generative models

OpenAI introduces Glow, a reversible generative model using invertible 1x1 convolutions that extends prior work on normalizing flows. The model generates realistic high-resolution images, supports efficient sampling, and learns disentangled features for attribute manipulation. Code and an online visualization tool are released alongside the paper.

Review: Generative Models, Multimodal Learning, and Closed-Loop Workflows in Inverse Materials Design

This arxiv review surveys recent advances in generative modeling for inverse materials design, covering variational autoencoders, normalizing flows, autoregressive models, and diffusion models applied to crystalline solid discovery. It examines how multimodal learning fuses crystal structures, thermodynamic data, spectroscopy, microscopy, and scientific text into transferable chemical-space representations. The paper also reviews closed-loop design pipelines integrating conditional generation with Bayesian optimization, reinforcement learning, and active learning, and identifies recurring failure modes including surrogate exploitation, diversity collapse, and the stability-synthesizability gap.
