This is a really nice blogpost by @RuiqiGao and team that I enjoyed being a part of. My favorite key learnings are: - DDIM sampler == flow matching sampling - (Not) straight? - SD3 weighting (Esser, Rombach, et al) is very similar to the EDM weighting (Karras, et al). 👇

A common question nowadays: Which is better, diffusion or flow matching? 🤔 Our answer: They’re two sides of the same coin. We wrote a blog post to show how diffusion models and Gaussian flow matching are equivalent. That’s great: It means you can use them interchangeably.
