Diffusion model
A class of AI models that generate images, video, or audio by taking random digital noise and gradually refining it into a clear, structured output based on a prompt.
What it is
Diffusion models (like Stable Diffusion or Midjourney) are trained by taking clear images, systematically destroying them by adding static noise, and learning how to reverse the process. During generation, the model starts with pure static and iteratively denoises it, guided by text descriptions, until a coherent image emerges.
When you would use it
You refer to diffusion models when discussing the underlying architecture powering modern generative visual and audio AI tools.
