From DDPM to Flow Matching: the math lineage behind image/video generation research

The author praises image/video generation researchers: the Diffusion line (DDPM, DDIM) requires understanding Gaussian distributions, Score Matching maps to stochastic differential equations, and Flow Matching to ordinary differential equations.

The linked page is Hugging Face's list of Diffusers-compatible models (120K+ models, including MiniMax-H3 and FLUX.1), suggested as a starting point for entering this line of work.
