Historical context & research account
Architectural improvements and classifier guidance allow diffusion models to outperform prominent GAN approaches on ImageNet synthesis. The master identifies this as a technical turning point in the transition from GAN-centered image generation toward diffusion. The comparison concerns a particular research benchmark and period, rather than every possible artistic or technical application.
