kalomaze: crude diffusion autoencoders may lose low-frequency info at the latent stage

kalomaze · x · 2026-11-04

Responding to an analysis of 120 generated videos showing models fail to produce low-frequency airplane Doppler effects, kalomaze argues that autoencoders in SOTA diffusion models are crude enough that information isn't preserved when encoded into bottleneck latents — it may be unrecoverable even in the training data as the model actually saw it.
