7 ordered steps, from DALL-E to GAN.

  1. Step 1: DALL-E

    DALL-E starts the path as a recognizable hosted image model, giving learners a concrete product before the underlying technique.

  2. Step 2: FLUX

    FLUX follows because it introduces a strong modern image model outside the OpenAI-centered mental model.

  3. Step 3: Stable Diffusion

    Stable Diffusion matters next because it anchors the open and highly customizable image-generation ecosystem.

  4. Step 4: ComfyUI

    ComfyUI turns Stable Diffusion from a model name into a workflow builder where generation steps can be inspected and rewired.

  5. Step 5: Diffusion model

    After seeing tools, the learner is ready for the shared generative technique that explains why these systems are related.

  6. Step 6: Latent space

    Latent space belongs here because it explains where diffusion tools manipulate compressed visual meaning rather than raw pixels.

  7. Step 7: GAN

    GAN closes the path as a contrast point, helping learners distinguish older adversarial generation from the diffusion approach.
