Abstract
In theory, diffusion curves promise complex color gradations for infinite-resolution vector graphics. In practice, existing realizations suffer from poor scaling, discretization artifacts, or insufficient support for rich boundary conditions. Previous applications of the boundary element method to diffusion curves have relied on polygonal approximations, which either forfeit the high-order smoothness of Bézier curves, or, when the polygonal approximation is extremely detailed, result in large and costly systems of equations that must be solved. In this paper, we utilize the boundary integral equation method to accurately and efficiently solve the underlying partial differential equation. Given a desired resolution and viewport, we then interpolate this solution and use the boundary element method to render it. We couple this hybrid approach with the fast multipole method on a non-uniform quadtree for efficient computation. Furthermore, we introduce an adaptive strategy to enable truly scalable infinite-resolution diffusion curves.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
