Evaluation of image generation models on a 50,000 image subset of the ImageNet dataset rendered at 512x512 resolution, using the combined test and validation splits. Primary metric observed is FID.

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 512x512 (test val 50K images) |
| Metric | FID |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Lower is better |
| Results loaded | 7 of 7 |
| 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

- [FID](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-generation-on-imagenet-512x512-test-val-50k-images.md?metric=FID>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.
