Generative & Diffusion Models

GANs, diffusion models, and the architectures behind modern generative AI. Research-grade explainers on how generative models learn, where they fail, and the design choices that separate state-of-the-art methods from the rest, each tied to the paper it came from.

Why DPO Is Beating RLHF at Aligning AI Images

Diffusion Models RLHF DPO Image Generation Preference Alignment Analysis by the aitrendblend editorial team A new survey compares how RLHF and DPO style methods teach diffusion models to match human taste. Somewhere right now, someone is looking at two AI generated versions of the same prompt and picking the one that looks better. That small […]
