Contextual evidence from Denoiser block

A block owns two gain-only LayerNorms, a fused query–key–value projection and an output projection without bias, an MLP of the configured kind, and, with modulation, an affine layer from the time condition to six vectors, initialized at zero.

Contextual evidence from Denoiser block

A block normalizes, modulates by the time condition’s shift and scale, projects to queries, keys and values, rotates queries and keys, attends over all positions with softcap, and adds the projected output scaled by a gate; the MLP branch does the same with its own shift, scale and gate.

Contextual evidence from Denoiser block

The denoiser’s stack applies the blocks in order and then the output layer, each with the time condition.

Contextual evidence from Denoiser block

Diffusion: self-conditioning on, `t_min` 0.05 and `eps` 10⁻⁵; the adaptive time sampler has 100 bins, a minimum weight of 0.0001, an EMA of 0.9 and updates every 5,000 steps; the denoiser’s EMA decay is 0.9999; scheduler `tanh` with d = 3, solver `euler`, `ode_sampling` false, N = 128 by default; the denoiser has 12 blocks of width 768 with 12 heads, time conditioning `adaln`, a standard MLP, softcap 50 and self-conditioning by concatenation; the timestep embedding’s `max_period` is 10.

Contextual evidence from Add MLP update

The residual update is scale · dropout(x) added to the residual; modulation is x · (1 + scale) + shift.
