arXiv:2606. 15048v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diffusion models are typically trained with objectives that focus on local denoising targets at individual time steps (or adjacent pairs), which do not enforce consistency between predictions along the denoising trajectory.

We study timestep allocation for score-based diffusion sampling, where a learned reverse-time dynamics is discretized on a finite grid. Uniform and hand-crafted schedules are standard choices, but they rely on fixed prescriptions and can therefore be suboptimal.

Text-to-image diffusion models expose many inference-time sampling parameters, including prompts, negative prompts, classifier-free guidance scales, and noise schedules. These parameters are typically manually chosen once and then held fixed across prompts and denoising timesteps, even though different prompts and stages of generation can benefit from different parameter values.
