Consistency Models

OpenAI · 2 years ago · 51 ● 2 sources

Consistency models reduce the sampling steps required for diffusion model generation from many iterations down to one or two steps. OpenAI's research demonstrated that a single-step consistency model could generate high-quality images while maintaining comparable quality to standard diffusion approaches. This enables faster image, audio, and video generation without requiring the lengthy iterative process that previously slowed down diffusion models.
