  • This paper introduces General Proximal Flow Networks (GPFNs), a generalization of Bayesian Flow Networks that broadens the class of admissible belief-update operators. In Bayesian Flow Networks, each update step is a Bayesian posterior update, which is equivalent to a proximal step with respect to the Kullback-Leibler divergence. GPFNs replace this fixed choice with an arbitrary divergence or distance function, such as the Wasserstein distance, yielding a unified proximal-operator framework for iterative generative modeling. The corresponding training and sampling procedures are derived, establishing a formal link to proximal optimization and recovering the standard BFN update as a special case. Empirical evaluations confirm that adapting the divergence to the underlying data geometry yields measurable improvements in generation quality, highlighting the practical benefits of this broader framework.
