Asked about Generating by removing noise

What is latent diffusion?

An answer that works

Running the diffusion process in a compressed latent space rather than on raw pixels, so each denoising step is far cheaper. It is what made high-resolution text-to-image practical on ordinary hardware.

Reading an answer is not being able to give one. The section that teaches this is Generating by removing noise, 4 hours of Diffusion & generative models.
