Abstract: Block Flow Matching combines block-level autoregression with intra-block parallelism for efficient and high-quality Text-to-Speech (TTS). However, using a fixed block size during inference ignores the non-uniform modeling difficulty of speech, which can cause unstable velocity estimation in challenging regions. This motivates the need for a reliability metric that can guide dynamic adjustment of block size. We propose Trajectory Confidence (TC), a geometric measure derived from trajectory straightness during ODE integration, and introduce TC-Guided Dynamic Block Inference (TC-DBI), a plug-and-play strategy that truncates and regenerates unreliable regions to adapt block size without architectural changes. Experiments show that TC correlates strongly with generation errors, and TC-DBI improves robustness and perceptual quality while maintaining comparable efficiency.

We conducted our evaluations on the seed-test-zh and seed-test-en benchmarks from Seed-TTS. Since no publicly available BFM model matches our training scale, we reproduced a Block Flow Matching model (BFM) as a baseline. For a comprehensive comparison, we also include CosyVoice2, MaskGCT, and F5-TTS, covering AR and NAR paradigms.

To further examine how trajectory confidence translates into inference gains, we evaluate TC-DBI under different thresholds τ.
