Researchers have developed a new theoretical framework to understand and improve classifier-free guidance (CFG) in diffusion models. By viewing the diffusion process as a time-dependent information bottleneck, they identified that conditional information becomes significantly more effective after a specific stage characterized by a Fisher-information balance. This insight has led to a novel training-free dynamic CFG strategy that adaptively activates guidance during inference based on estimated guidance gain, outperforming fixed or hand-designed schedules across various architectures and tasks.
