Rethinking diffusion models: beyond number of denoising steps

Diffusion models have revolutionized generative AI, powering everything from hyper-realistic image synthesis to advanced AI-powered video generation. But there's one major challenge that keeps researchers and engineers up at night: inference speed.

Most approaches try to tackle this by adding more denoising steps or tweaking the underlying architecture. But what if we’ve been looking at the problem all wrong?

A fascinating new perspective challenges conventional wisdom by proposing a smarter way to scale diffusion models at inference time—without sacrificing quality. This rethink could lead to dramatically faster models, making real-time generation a reality for more applications.

Curious about what this means for AI and where the research is heading? I break it all down in my latest post. Read more here:
