I built my 'first' flow matching image generator, here's what I learned [P]

Today I put out my first flow matching image generation model!

Because of this, it’s not a massive model (clocking in at ~4.7 million parameters), but it was an incredible learning experience. My original approach (which failed): I initially tried taking the emoji images, convert
