| contents | Modern ultra-high-resolution image synthesis relies heavily on the robust generative capacity of large-scale pre-trained Latent Diffusion Models (LDMs). While recent representation alignment methods have proven effective by distilling visual priors from foundation models (e.g., SAM or DINO) into generative latent features, scaling these approaches to pre-trained LDMs at extreme resolutions exposes a critical learnability-fidelity conflict. Specifically, forcing direct patch-wise feature distillation inherently perturbs the pre-trained latent manifold, ultimately leading to generation degradation. To address this bottleneck, we propose Spatial Gram Alignment (SGA), a novel framework that explicitly leverages the representation priors of vision foundation models while preserving the native generative capacity of LDMs. Moving beyond restrictive direct alignment, SGA imposes a non-invasive spatial constraint by aligning the internal self-similarities of the generative features with those of the foundation priors. This spatial constraint effectively establishes macroscopic structural coherence, while the native generative objectives retain the microscopic pixel-level fidelity inherent to the original LDMs. Notably, this versatile strategy integrates seamlessly across both intermediate diffusion features and VAE latents within pre-trained LDMs. Extensive experiments demonstrate that SGA achieves state-of-the-art performance for ultra-high-resolution text-to-image synthesis, yielding an effective reconciliation between global structural integrity and fine-grained visual details.
