Improve guidance performance for DINO-Forcing

Improve the guidance performance of DINO-Forcing, potentially by incorporating Internal Guidance or other intermediate-output guidance mechanisms, to address the underwhelming guided FID scores reported for the latent-space model.

Background

The latent-space DINO-Forcing experiments achieve strong unguided performance, but the reported improvement from guidance is comparatively modest. The authors identify Internal Guidance, which uses intermediate model outputs, as a possible way to improve guidance and explicitly defer this investigation to future work.

References

Interesting ideas like Internal Guidance~\citep{zhou2026guiding} with intermediate outputs can be an interesting avenue to explore to improve upon the guidance, and we leave this as future work to further improve upon our core idea.
