Latent Forcing: Reordering Diffusion Steps Boosts Pixel‑Level Image Quality

The new Latent Forcing technique from Fei‑Fei Li’s team reorders the diffusion trajectory, first generating a latent structural sketch and then refining pixel details, which restores efficiency of latent‑space models while preserving 100 % pixel fidelity, achieving state‑of‑the‑art FID scores on ImageNet‑256.
