Diffusion models have significantly advanced the fields of image, audio, and video generation, but they depend on an iterative sampling process that causes slow generation.
We’ve simplified, stabilized, and scaled continuous-time consistency models, achieving comparable sample quality to leading diffusion models, while using only two sampling steps.
The paper introduces an adaptive step schedule controller for text‑to‑image diffusion models, allowing the number of denoising steps to vary based on the complexity of the input prompt. By mixing step schedules of different sizes and monitoring error discrepancies at each timestep, the method switches schedules to maintain image quality while reducing inference time. Experiments on COCO and DiffusionDB demonstrate that this approach achieves faster generation without sacrificing visual fidelity.
