Latent diffusion models achieve strong generative performance by operating in a compressed latent space produced by a variational autoencoder (VAE). However, it remains unclear whether all latent channels contribute equally to the diffusion process, or whether significant redundancy exists.
arXiv:2607. 05319v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study why diffusion autoencoders can achieve similar image quality while learning substantially different latent structures.

arXiv:2605. 20708v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) have become a de facto backbone of modern visual generation, and nearly every major axis of their design -- tokenization, attention, conditioning, objectives, and latent autoencoders -- has been extensively revisited.
