Efficient event generation is a major computational challenge for precision collider phenomenology, especially for high-multiplicity final states where matrix-element evaluations are expensive and rejection-sampling efficiencies are low. We study an alternative approach based on many parallel underdamped Langevin chains, retaining one terminal state from each chain to obtain unweighted events while avoiding within-chain autocorrelation. A learned Stein discrepancy is used as a convergence diagnostic, providing a data-driven estimate of the relaxation time. We apply the method to tree-level $u\bar u\to Z+n g$ event generation and find that relaxation requires only a modest number of exact-target Langevin steps, with mild growth over the multiplicities studied. Finally, we show that simple neural-network surrogate initialization can substantially reduce the required number of exact matrix-element and gradient evaluations.
