Diffusion model papers explained
Diffusion models learn to reverse a gradual corruption process. Understanding what the model predicts at each noise level makes the training objective, sampling procedure, and guidance mechanisms easier to connect. The explainers here follow those connections from denoising to practical image generation.
Build the basic denoising picture first, then study faster sampling and generation in a compressed representation. Continue into score-based models and flow matching to compare the mathematical views of how noise becomes data.

Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models
Build the forward noising process and learn how denoising trains a generator.
DDIM
Understand how the same trained model can take fewer sampling steps.
Latent Diffusion (Stable Diffusion)
See why generating in a learned latent space reduces the cost of image synthesis.
