Medium GrooveSquid.com (original content) Medium Difficulty Summary
The paper challenges the notion that latent diffusion models are superior for high-resolution image synthesis. Instead, it shows that pixel-space models can be competitive in terms of quality and efficiency, achieving state-of-the-art (SOTA) results on several datasets. The authors demonstrate that these models can produce images with a 1.5 FID score on ImageNet512, outperforming latent approaches.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
The paper compares different types of diffusion models for high-resolution image synthesis. It shows that pixel-space models are just as good as latent models in terms of quality and efficiency. The authors achieve state-of-the-art results on several datasets, including ImageNet128 and ImageNet256. This means that pixel-space models can be used to create realistic images at high resolution.
