- 1 We include these changes to show our improvements are orthogonal to other diffusion improvements.
- 2 The full network has only 86M parameters, markedly lower than the standard DiT XL\/2 model.
- 3 We evaluate performance on CelebA-HQ, FFHQ, LSUN-Church, and ImageNet with 280 transformer block forward passes.
- 4 Our model performs worse than fully-explicit DiT when sampling computation and time are not constrained.
Introduction
Recent advancements in image generation are driven by largescale diffusion models. The core principles of diffusion networks have remained largely unchanged since their development.
Diffusion networks typically consist of a fixed series of neural network layers with a UNet or vision transformer architecture.
The large size and computational costs of diffusion models pose challenges for deployment on mobile and edge devices.
FPDM excels over standard diffusion models when computational resources during sampling are limited.
Smoothing compute among more timesteps is beneficial when compute is limited.
Methodology
We demonstrate the efficacy of our method through extensive experiments. Detailed analysis and ablation studies demonstrate the efficacy of our proposed network, sampling techniques, and training methods.
Study Design
Solvers like Broyden’s method or Anderson’s acceleration compute the equilibrium state in the forward pass.
Alternative solving methods include Newton’s method, quasi-Newton methods, and Anderson’s acceleration.
Results & Findings
Increased model size, computational power, and extensive datasets improve generation performance. This paper introduces the Fixed Point Diffusion Model (FPDM), which integrates an implicit fixed point solving layer into the denoising network.

- FPDM utilizes a variable amount of computation at each timestep, influencing solution accuracy.
- These methods can incur significant memory and computational costs.
- We aim to find a fixed point for the map f fp conditional on the input injection and timestep.
We include these changes to show our improvements are orthogonal to other diffusion improvements.
The full network has only 86M parameters, markedly lower than the standard DiT XL\/2 model.

Implicit Networks and Deep Equilibrium Models
The section explains the concept of implicit neural networks and Deep Equilibrium Models (DEQs), which define outputs through dynamic systems rather than traditional layer stacks. It discusses how DEQs can be applied in various domains and their relevance to FPDM.

Frequently Asked Questions
The fixed point network is applied sequentially to progressively denoise a data sample from pure Gaussian noise. The equilibrium state of DEQs is equivalent to the output of an infinite-depth, weight-sharing explicit neural network.
