Researchers have developed SONIC, a novel training-free method for image inpainting using existing text-to-image models. The technique optimizes the initial noise sample to reconstruct the unmasked image efficiently. Key innovations include a linear approximation to relate noise to model output without costly unrolling and spectral preconditioning for stable optimization. SONIC reportedly outperforms state-of-the-art methods on various inpainting tasks. AI
