Researchers have developed a new method called Distribution-Guided CFG (DG-CFG) to improve the performance of diffusion models. This technique analyzes the probability flow ODE of classifier-free guidance (CFG) to derive exact analytic path-integral representations of induced distributions. DG-CFG modifies the standard CFG by incorporating an exponential path-integral correction, allowing for a time-dependent schedule that accounts for signal strength and error amplification. Experiments on Stable Diffusion 1.5 demonstrated that DG-CFG enhances generation quality and offers a better diversity-fidelity trade-off, particularly in scenarios where strong guidance typically leads to saturation and degradation.
