Researchers have proposed new methods for optimizing diffusion models, particularly in the context of reinforcement learning. One approach, detailed in "Freeze, Share, Shrink," suggests that the action backbone in diffusion policies can be frozen and shared across tasks, with adaptation handled by the conditioning pathway. This method, tested on MimicGen and LIBERO, shows that a smaller, reusable trajectory prior can match or exceed the performance of larger, task-specific backbones. Another paper, "DiffusionOPD," introduces a unified framework for multi-task training of diffusion models using On-Policy Distillation. This paradigm trains task-specific teacher models and then distills their capabilities into a single student model, demonstrating improved efficiency and performance over existing multi-task RL methods.
