New method stabilizes classifier-free guidance in diffusion models

Researchers have developed a novel repair mechanism for classifier-free guidance (CFG) in diffusion models, addressing its tendency to destabilize and oversaturate at higher guidance levels. By analyzing CFG through a numerical analysis lens, they identified that CFG's residual amplification diverges on coarse meshes. The proposed solution replaces CFG's standard formulation with a modified term, which acts as a high-guidance stabilizer without increasing computational cost. This method demonstrated improved performance on CIFAR-10 and Stable Diffusion 1.5, achieving better FID scores and preserving target accuracy. AI
