Limitations

repralign is usable for real experiments, but it is still an early research toolkit.

Current Practical Limits

  • token-level alignment analysis is not yet first-class
  • very large datasets may need more efficient on-disk feature accumulation
  • generation-reference workflows depend on the target pipeline exposing stable internal modules
  • exact paper-matching experiments still require model-specific configuration and validation

Important Interpretation Note

repralign helps you run the same kind of alignment study used in multimodal papers. It does not imply that a result matches any published paper unless:

  • the same candidate model is used
  • the same reference models are used
  • the same dataset and preprocessing are used
  • the same layer selections and metric settings are used

SD3 Reference Caveat

The SD3 adapter is designed to make generation-oriented reference analysis practical, but real SD3 experiments still depend on:

  • available hardware
  • Diffusers version compatibility
  • prompt-handling choices
  • selected timestep and image encoding settings
