Optimal Stopping in Latent Diffusion Model

ICML 2026

Yu-Han Wu, Quentin Berthet, Gérard Biau, Claire Boyer, Romuald Elie, Pierre Marion

  • Problem. The last steps of latent diffusion can degrade samples, which does not happen in pixel-space diffusion.
  • Approach. A Gaussian model with linear autoencoders that links latent dimension, the constraints of score matching and the stopping time.
  • Result. Low-dimensional latents call for earlier stopping, high-dimensional ones for later; stopping time is a key hyperparameter of latent diffusion.
Key figure from Optimal Stopping in Latent Diffusion Model
Left: FID-30k of a latent diffusion model on CelebA-HQ, with latent shape 64 × 64 × 3. Right: FID-30k of a standard diffusion model trained in pixel space on CelebA64. The latent model gets worse over its last steps; the pixel-space model does not.
