I've always wondered: Where does denoising go in one-step generative models? Turns out, it's hidden in the layers!
A very surprising finding, and I'm super proud of Arnold for this work! 👏
1/ I’m excited to share our work on “Depth as Time in One-Step Generative Models”!

TL;DR: We ask, when a model learns to generate an image in one forward pass, what happens to the denoising process? We observe that process unfolding over depth!
