Overview

• Introduces a novel decentralized approach for diffusion models
• Uses mixture-of-experts architecture to split model across devices
• Reduces computation and memory requirements per device
• Achieves comparable quality to centralized models
• Maintains data privacy through local training

Plain English Explanation

Decentralized diffusion models work like a team of specialists rather than one big expert. Instead of having a single massive AI model that requires expensive hardware, the system splits the work across multipl...
