Diffusion models treat every part of an image equally. → Same number of steps. Same compute. But images aren’t uniform. 🤔 Some regions are easy, others are hard. So why force the model to treat them the same? 🧵

🎬 “AI should be a tool that empowers everyone, not just those with the most computing power.” #MCML PI Björn Ommer explains why democratizing AI was the driving force behind the development of Stable Diffusion. 👉 Watch the video: youtu.be/xuBRRItRmsg

Video diffusion models learn motion indirectly through pixels. But motion itself is much lower-dimensional. We introduce 64× temporally compressed motion embeddings that directly capture scene dynamics. This enables efficient planning -> 10,000× faster than video models. 🧵👇

You don't imagine the future by mentally rendering a movie. You trace how things move -- abstractly, sparsely, step by step. We built a model that does exactly this. It predicts motion, not pixels -- and it's 3,000× faster than video world models. Myriad, accepted at @cvprconference.bsky.social

Fascinating approach — encoding an entire image into a single continuous latent token via self-supervised representation learning. RepTok 🦎 highlights how compact generative representations can retain both realism and semantic structure.

🤔 What happens when you poke a scene — and your model has to predict how the world moves in response? We built the Flow Poke Transformer (FPT) to model multi-modal scene dynamics from sparse interactions. It learns to predict the 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘣𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 of motion itself 🧵👇

"What makes us human in an AI-shaped world?" — At #MCML Munich AI Day 2025, Neil Lawrence explored this question, reminding us of the indivisible human core machines can't replicate. Björn Ommer followed with insights into how GenAI is commodifying intelligence and reshaping how we use computers.

Attending my first corporate-sponsored business conference: there’s a live band playing between talks to keep the energy up. Meanwhile, academic conferences are struggling to afford coffee breaks. Want this for EPSA! @compvis.bsky.social

🤔When combining Vision-language models (VLMs) with Large language models (LLMs), do VLMs benefit from additional genuine semantics or artificial augmentations of the text for downstream tasks? 🤨Interested? Check out our latest work at #AAAI25: 💻Code and 📝Paper at: github.com/CompVis/DisCLIP 🧵👇

🤔 Why do we extract diffusion features from noisy images? Isn’t that destroying information? Yes, it is - but we found a way to do better. 🚀 Here’s how we unlock better features, no noise, no hassle. 📝 Project Page: compvis.github.io/cleandift 💻 Code: github.com/CompVis/clea... 🧵👇
