Why Diffusion Models Yield Identical Images from Same Noise
CatAstro_Piyush · x · 2026-07-13
Why do diffusion models trained on entirely different datasets generate almost identical images when given the same noise seed?
This thread argues that it's not "magical memory" or massive memorization, but rather random matrix theory at work. The author also mentions this is related to an ICML 2026 Outstanding Paper Honorable Mention, making it a research finding worth paying attention to.
