Diffusion Model
Definition
A type of generative AI model used primarily for image and video generation. Diffusion models work by learning to gradually remove noise from random data until a clear image emerges. DALL-E 3, Stable Diffusion, and Midjourney use this approach.
In Plain English
The technology behind AI image generators. Imagine starting with TV static and slowly "cleaning it up" until a picture appears. Diffusion models learn to do this cleanup process, guided by your text description of what the image should look like.
