Finally got to reading the fascinating & excellent paper by Kamb and Ganguli, which makes a significant contribution to diffusion/GenAI literature & will likely become one of the most-cited works in this space. Unlike many "theoretical" ML studies, theirs is high-dimensional and practical.. 1/n

Excited to finally share this work w/ @suryaganguli.bsky.social Tl;dr: we find the first closed-form analytical theory that replicates the outputs of the very simplest diffusion models, with median pixel wise r^2 values of 90%+. arxiv.org/abs/2412.20292
