Latent Diffusion
Diffusion model that operates in a compressed latent space rather than raw pixels.
Definition
Latent diffusion pairs a VAE that compresses images into a small latent grid with a denoising network that runs entirely in that latent. Operating at ~64× lower spatial resolution slashes compute, making models like Stable Diffusion and FLUX practical.
Common use cases
- Image generation
- Video generation
- Inpainting
