History of Diffusion - Jascha Sohl-Dickstein
Diffusion models now dominate generative AI, powering MidJourney, DALL·E, Ideogram, Stable Diffusion, and more—but just a few years ago, they were an obscure research idea. In this episode, BCV partner Slater Stich sits down with Jascha Sohl-Dickstein, the researcher behind the foundational 2015 paper that introduced diffusion as a generative model. https://baincapitalventures.com/ X: @BainCapVC @slaterstich
