Latent diffusion models (Stable Diffusion, DALL-E) have largely supplanted GANs as the dominant approach for text-to-image generation tasks

Dependents

These beliefs depend on this one:

• IN generative-modeling-paradigm-succession — Generative modeling has seen a significant shift: GANs, introduced in 2014, were largely supplanted by diffusion models (such as DALL-E 2 and Stable Diffusion) from approximately 2022 onward, particularly for text-to-image generation, suggesting that even widely adopted adversarial training frameworks can be overtaken by alternative approaches.
