Diffusion Models in 2026: Slow Sampling and Hard Engineering Limits
Why diffusion models still need many sampling steps, why FLUX and SD 3.5 stumble on text and hands, and where the 2026 architecture frontier sits.
U-Net, VAE, Schedulers, and Text Encoders: The Anatomy of a Modern Diffusion Model
A modern diffusion model is not one network but four: a VAE for compression, a U-Net or DiT denoiser, a text encoder, and a sampler. Here is how they fit.
