Contextual evidence from Sampler

Sampling starts from the prior with a zero self-conditioning estimate, uses the averaged denoiser, takes the adaptive grid when it is requested and the sampler has been updated and a uniform grid otherwise, steps N times carrying the state and the clean estimate, and returns the last step’s mean.

Contextual evidence from Sampler

One Euler–Maruyama step: the mean is x + drift · dt, and the next state adds diffusion · √(−dt) · noise; the clean estimate is returned with them.

Contextual evidence from Sampler

The reverse SDE: drift −β x/2 − β · score and diffusion √β; the ODE halves the score term and has no diffusion.

Contextual evidence from Sampler

The denoiser’s clean prediction is converted into the noise estimate and the score with the marginal’s mean and standard deviation.

The generation grid: N + 1 times at equal steps of the weights’ cumulative distribution, interpolated inside bins, clamped to the stopping time, in decreasing order.

Contextual evidence from Sampler

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.

The documented OpenWebText invocation: the joint task on 1,024-token sequences, decoder noise 3, hidden state −3, 1,024 diffusion steps on the adaptive grid.

Contextual evidence from Denoiser

The denoiser owns the time embedding’s two affine layers, one rotary table for all blocks, an affine projection of the concatenated input, and the stack.

The implementation, pinned at revision e18c42acdfb7, not yet public

Contextual evidence from Denoiser

The time embedding passes its MLP and a SiLU; the noised latents are concatenated with the previous clean estimate, zeros when there is none, and projected; the stack runs in bfloat16.

Contextual evidence from Denoiser

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