Expert Tip: Build Tiny Models to Develop Training Intuition
psuraj28 · x · 2026-08-28
Offering advice on diving deep into the math of diffusion models, the author suggests that excessive focus on math without background can be confusing. Instead, they recommend building tiny models to observe behavior under different formulations, inspecting sampling and loss when predicting x/eps/v, and analyzing model predictions at each step. This approach builds intuition for one approach, making it easier to connect to others.
