Evaluation of image generation models on ImageNet 256x256, reporting gFID, Inception Score (IS), Precision, and Recall calculated specifically without Classifier-Free Guidance (CFG).

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | Image Generation |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | ImageNet 256x256 (no CFG) |
| Metric | gFID |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Lower is better |
| Results loaded | 11 of 11 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.

## Metrics

- [gFID](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-generation-on-imagenet-256x256-no-cfg.md?metric=gFID>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Inception Score](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-generation-on-imagenet-256x256-no-cfg.md?metric=Inception%20Score>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Precision](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-generation-on-imagenet-256x256-no-cfg.md?metric=Precision>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Recall](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-generation-on-imagenet-256x256-no-cfg.md?metric=Recall>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.
