@samar_a_khanna Isn't diffusion more FLOPS heavy than AR? How come it works faster than AR then. I understand the hardware utilization is going to be higher, but with 20x faster generation, you need at least 20x higher hardware utilization to get the speed up.

We're moving beyond autoregressive LLMs! Autoregressive LLMs generate text word-by-word, which can be slow and affect quality, while diffusion models refine noise step-by-step, allowing for faster iterations and error correction. Here's Gemini Diffusion running at 857 tokens/s:

LLM-grounded Diffusion: Enhancing Prompt Understanding of Text-to-Image Diffusion Models with Large Language Models paper page: github: Recent advancements in text-to-image generation with diffusion models have yielded remarkable results synthesizing highly realistic and diverse images. However, these models still encounter difficulties when generating images from prompts that demand spatial or common sense reasoning. We propose to equip diffusion models with enhanced reasoning capabilities by using off-the-shelf pretrained large language models (LLMs) in a novel two-stage generation process. First, we adapt an LLM to be a text-guided layout generator through in-context learning. When provided with an image prompt, an LLM outputs a scene layout in the form of bounding boxes along with corresponding individual descriptions. Second, we steer a diffusion model with a novel controller to generate images conditioned on the layout. Both stages utilize frozen pretrained models without any LLM or diffusion model parameter optimization. We validate the superiority of our design by demonstrating its ability to outperform the base diffusion model in accurately generating images according to prompts that necessitate both language and spatial reasoning. Additionally, our method naturally allows dialog-based scene specification and is able to handle prompts in a language that is not well-supported by the underlying diffusion model.

Video might be the next intelligence substrate. Strikingly, video models are beginning to exhibit the same emergent reasoning behaviors first observed in LLMs—multi-path search, self-correction, and layer specialization. We demystify video reasoning and show it doesn’t happen frame-by-frame, but along diffusion steps. 🔗 📄 So, what's next? ;)

Presto! Distilling Steps and Layers for Accelerating Music Generation Despite advances in diffusion-based text-to-music (TTM) methods, efficient, high-quality generation remains a challenge. We introduce Presto!, an approach to inference acceleration for score-based diffusion transformers via reducing both sampling steps and cost per step. To reduce steps, we develop a new score-based distribution matching distillation (DMD) method for the EDM-family of diffusion models, the first GAN-based distillation method for TTM. To reduce the cost per step, we develop a simple, but powerful improvement to a recent layer distillation method that improves learning via better preserving hidden state variance. Finally, we combine our step and layer distillation methods together for a dual-faceted approach. We evaluate our step and layer distillation methods independently and show each yield best-in-class performance. Our combined distillation method can generate high-quality outputs with improved diversity, accelerating our base model by 10-18x (230/435ms latency for 32 second mono/stereo 44.1kHz, 15x faster than comparable SOTA) -- the fastest high-quality TTM to our knowledge.
