How I Decoded the Mathematics Behind Stable Diffusion and Built My Own Image Generator

The equation that changed everything looked deceptively innocent.

This article explores the author’s journey in decoding the mathematics of stable diffusion, leading to the creation of a custom image generator. The initial discovery of a key equation set off a six-month obsession with understanding the interplay of noise and signal in image generation. The author delves into technical details on diffusion models, mathematical insights, and implementation challenges, ultimately demonstrating how a curated dataset significantly improved the quality of generated images. The article concludes with reflections on the broader implications of diffusion models and their potential in various creative applications.
