Latent Diffusion Model (LDM)

Latent diffusion model is a generative model that synthesizes data such as images by running a diffusion-based denoising process in a compressed latent space, which enterprises use for controllable content generation, data augmentation, and multimodal AI workloads under governance and infrastructure constraints.

What this term record gives an agent
