Smol AI introduces Hourglass Diffusion, a novel generative model architecture

A new diffusion model architecture called Hourglass Diffusion has been proposed, potentially superseding the widely used Latent Diffusion models. This novel approach aims to improve efficiency and performance in generative AI tasks. The research suggests a shift in the underlying technology for image generation and other diffusion-based applications. AI

    RIP Latent Diffusion, Hello Hourglass Diffusion

    **Katherine Crowson** from **Stable Diffusion** introduces a hierarchical pure transformer backbone for diffusion-based image generation that efficiently scales to megapixel resolutions with under 600 million parameters, improving upon the original ~900M parameter model. This arc…
