I’ve always wondered about this. When I went to Europe there were several days I walked 13+ miles. Probably can count on one hand how many times I’ve done that in the US.

Excellent upgrade for every Python developer. I've been using the following three libraries for years: • flake8 - Linting • black - Formatting • isort - Sorting imports Many people recommended a replacement: "ruff." I installed it, and I've been playing with it for a couple…

Excited about recent improvements of our NeurIPS Spotlight paper, now even faster with ⚡️⚡️multiprocessing⚡️⚡️! We now get 2x speedup on as low as 50-step DDIM, and 4x speedup on 200-step DDIM! The first version of our paper showed good results, but we wanted even better. -…

Diffusion models are slow to sample from. Many methods propose to sample using *fewer* steps, but this can hurt sample quality. We introduce ParaDiGMS, a new method to speed up diffusion models by 2-4x while using the *same* number of steps! arxiv.org/abs/2305.16317
