Wonderland: Navigating 3D Scenes from a Single Image Contributions:... • First, we introduce a representation for controllable 3D generation by leveraging the generative priors from camera-guided video diffusion models. Unlike image models, video diffusion models are trained on extensive video datasets. This enables them to capture comprehensive spatial relationships within scenes across multiple views and embed a form of "3D awareness" in their latent space, which allows us to maintain 3D consistency in novel view synthesis. • Second, to achieve controllable novel view generation, we empower video models with precise control over specified camera motions. We introduce a novel dual-branch conditioning mechanism that effectively incorporates desired diverse camera trajectories into the video diffusion model. This enables expansion of a single image into a multi-view consistent capture of a 3D scene with precise pose control. • Third, to achieve efficient 3D reconstruction, we directly transform video latents into 3DGS. We propose a novel latent-based large reconstruction model (LaLRM) that lifts video latents to 3D in a feed-forward manner. With this design, during inference, our model directly predicts 3DGS from a single input image, effectively aligning the generation and reconstruction tasks—and bridging image space and 3D space—through the video latent space. Compared with reconstructing scenes from images, the video latent space offers a 256× spatial-temporal reduction while retaining essential and consistent 3D structural details. Such a high degree of compression is crucial, as it allows the LaLRM to handle a wider range of 3D scenes within the reconstruction framework, with the same memory constraints.show more

Chop the gradients ✂️! We found that truncating decoder... gradients in latent video diffusion to a fixed window allows us to finetune on videos with pixel-wise perceptual losses without running out of memory. Pixel losses have been essential for image generation and reconstruction, but until now, they haven't scaled to long-duration, high-resolution video diffusion due to recursive activation accumulation in causal decoders, leading to OOM during training 💥📉. Project: Video diffusion models can do a lot more 🚀 when you can backprop the decoder! Post-process neural rendered scenes, super-resolve videos, harmonize lighting in controlled synthetic driving scenes, and inpaint videos — all in a single step ⚡ with a quick finetune from a standard diffusion model.show more

Massive update for AI Engineers! Training diffusion models just... got a lot easier. dLLM is an open-source library that does for diffusion models what Hugging Face did for transformers. Here's why this matters: Traditional autoregressive models generate text left-to-right, one token at a time. Diffusion models work differently - they refine the entire sequence iteratively, giving you better control over generation quality and more flexible editing capabilities. The problem? Building and training these models required stitching together scattered tools and reimplementing research papers from scratch. Most of the tooling has been scattered and is hard to reproduce. dLLM changes this: It unifies everything you need to train, evaluate, and deploy diffusion language models: ↳ Scalable training with LoRA, DeepSpeed, and FSDP support ↳ Unified evaluation that abstracts away inference complexity ↳ Ready-to-use recipes for pretraining, finetuning, and evaluation The library includes implementations of models like LLaDA and Dream, plus training algorithms like Edit Flows that enable insertion, deletion, and substitution operations. The team just released ModernBERT-Chat models showing you can turn BERT into lightweight chatbots through masked instruction tuning. This is practical and worth exploring. The setup is straightforward. Run locally with Accelerate or scale to multi-node clusters with Slurm. If you're working with language models and want to explore diffusion-based approaches without rebuilding infrastructure, dLLM gives you a production-ready starting point.

NVIDIA just released a very impressive text-to-video paper. Video... Latent Diffusion Models (Video LDMs) use a diffusion model in a compressed latent space to generate high-resolution videos. Here's a brief overview of how it works: 1. Pre-train image LDM on a dataset of images. 2. Turn the image LDM into a Video LDM by adding temporal layers to model video frames. 3. Fine-tune the Video LDM on encoded video sequences to create a video generator. 4. Temporally align diffusion model upsamplers to generate high-resolution videos. 5. Validate Video LDM on real driving videos of 512x1024 resolution, achieving state-of-the-art performance. 6. Apply the approach in creative content creation with text-to-video modeling.

This is the coolest Diffusion work I've seen in... a while! It generates Visual Anagrams, a type of optical illusion where an image looks like one thing, but changes appearance when transformed. It works with any orthogonal transformation matrices, which luckily include rotation, permutation (jigsaw puzzles), and color negation. Intuitively, the method first inverts the noise from multiple image transforms (with different text prompts), and then average them. After taking a diffusion step in the averaged noise, the resulting image becomes an anagram that aligns with the texts in different views. It does very little computation, using pre-trained Stable Diffusion. Simple, elegant, and inexpensive technique for non-professionals to create some interesting art! Paper: Website: It's open-source!

DimensionX: Create Any 3D and 4D Scenes from a... Single Image with Controllable Video Diffusion TL;DR: Create 3/4DGS from Video Diffusion Note: Some first inference code released (not all yet). Contributions (cited): • We present DimensionX, a novel framework for generating photorealistic 3D and 4D scenes from only a single image using controllable video diffusion. • We propose ST-Director, which decouples the spatial and temporal priors in video diffusion models by learning (spatial and temporal) dimension-aware modules with our curated datasets. We further enhance the hybriddimension control with a training-free composition approach according to the essence of video diffusion denoising process. • To bridge the gap between video diffusion and real-world scenes, we design a trajectory-aware mechanism for 3D generation and an identity-preserving denoising approach for 4D generation, enabling more realistic and controllable scene synthesis. • Extensive experiments manifest that our DimensionX delivers superior performance in video, 3D, and 4D generation compared with baseline methods.show more

The Hidden Language of Diffusion Models paper page: tackle... the challenge of understanding concept representations in text-to-image models by decomposing an input text prompt into a small set of interpretable elements. This is achieved by learning a pseudo-token that is a sparse weighted combination of tokens from the model's vocabulary, with the objective of reconstructing the images generated for the given concept. Applied over the state-of-the-art Stable Diffusion model, this decomposition reveals non-trivial and surprising structures in the representations of concepts. For example, we find that some concepts such as "a president" or "a composer" are dominated by specific instances (e.g., "Obama", "Biden") and their interpolations. Other concepts, such as "happiness" combine associated terms that can be concrete ("family", "laughter") or abstract ("friendship", "emotion"). In addition to peering into the inner workings of Stable Diffusion, our method also enables applications such as single-image decomposition to tokens, bias detection and mitigation, and semantic image manipulationshow more

🚀 Self-speculation brings 6.75x real speedup for LLM generation... with SGLang inference! Same model drafts future tokens in Diffusion mode → then verifies them in AR (causal) mode. One model and one KV cache. Just different attention masks. Thanks to perfect alignment, we get 2× longer acceptance lengths than MTP techniques (Eagle-3, MTP, dFlash). We run 2 forward passes… but the 2× higher acceptance means we break even - and with zero overhead from extra drafter, KV cache, or LM head that comes with MTP - those are not free. Last week we released Nemotron-Labs-Diffusion + Tri-mode LLMs! We did continued pre-training on Ministral-3 models by switching attention patterns (block causal bidirectional). Result: one model that runs AR mode, Diffusion mode, and Self-Speculation. Diffusion mode already shows high benchmark accuracy - excited to see what happens when someone beats left-to-right acceptance! 🔥 Github: Paper: SGLang inference: Try the models on HF:show more
