Great work by @francois-rozet.bsky.social. Some really unexpected insights about compression in LDMs. It was such a privilege to have him with us @polymathicai.bsky.social!
Does a smaller latent space lead to worse generation in latent diffusion models? Not necessarily! We show that LDMs are extremely robust to a wide range of compression rates (10-1000x) in the context of physics emulation.

We got lost in latent space. Join us 👇

Today along with my project co-lead @rubenohana.bsky.social and the team at @polymathicai.bsky.social I'm excited to announce the release of the Well, a 15TB collection of 15+ datasets for physical simulation.
