🧠 Keeping LLMs factually up to date is a common motivation for knowledge editing.
But what would it actually take to support this in practice at the scale and speed the real world demands?
We explore this question and really push the limits of lifelong knowledge editing in the wild.

Can we enhance the performance of T2I models without any fine-tuning?
We show that with our ReNO, Reward-based Noise Optimization, one-step models consistently surpass the performance of all current open-source Text-to-Image models within the computational budget of 20-50 sec!
