THE PARADOX OF DIFFUSION DISTILLATION

Diffusion models break down hard problems, like image generation, into many smaller problems, like removing a tiny amount of noise from an image. A lot of effort has been put into single step diffusion generation, which seems to defeat the point. This post explores the paradox of diffusion distillation and outlines the many research directions available.

1BIT LLMS

Most language models use 16 or more bits to represent a parameter in a model. This results in powerful models that can be expensive to run. This work proposes a method that uses 1.58 bits per parameter - each parameter is in {-1, 0, 1}. This method matches performance exactly up to 3B parameters. No code or models have been released yet.
