Asked about Train a tiny diffusion model

You trained a diffusion model and samples look like blurry blobs. What might be wrong?

An answer that works

Too little training, a network too small for the data, a wrong noise schedule so the final step is not near pure noise, a bug in the sampling formula, or the time step not reaching the network properly. Checking that the forward process at the last step is indistinguishable from noise and plotting intermediate samples narrow it down fast.
