Decentralized Diffusion Models. We're hiring: https://t.co/zFBqJxUhaq

Excited to share that Bagel Labs' paper got accepted at CVPR 2026. A lot of the most important diffusion model research has historically stayed inside frontier labs. We're bringing more of that in the open through open science and open infrastructure. In this work we showcase the very counterintuitive advantage of mixing different training objectives (DDPM and Flow-Matching) through an ensemble of diffusion models. This is one of the first ever works to successfully combine diffusion models trained with heterogeneous objectives. See details here: blog.bagel.com/p/heterogeneou…







alright folks tomorrow january 22 from 10h-12h AM EST we're going to dive into decentralized diffusion models by reviewing the paris model from bagel labs I even managed to lock in @bidhan for an interview on why how what that's a good thing to even do tune in!


this weekend I'll be diving deep into decentralized training for diffusion models with the paris model and the bagel team (what a sentence)

Introducing Paris - world's first decentralized trained open-weight diffusion model. We named it Paris after the city that has always been a refuge for those creating without permission. Paris is open for research and commercial use.

Paris does something that shouldn't work. It's a combination of smaller expert diffusion models pre-trained from scratch, across different continents in complete isolation. Absolutely zero synchronization among each other during training. This zero communication protocol achieves comparable quality to SOTA distributed approaches using 14× less data and 16× less compute. How? See our full technical report and model weights below. Full Technical Report: github.com/bageldotcom/pa… Model Weights: huggingface.co/bageldotcom/pa…
