# Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DDPM)

**Paper**: [Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models](https://arxiv.org/abs/2006.11239)

**Abstract**:

*We present high quality image synthesis results using diffusion probabilistic models, a class of latent variable models inspired by considerations from nonequilibrium thermodynamics. Our best results are obtained by training on a weighted variational bound designed according to a novel connection between diffusion probabilistic models and denoising score matching with Langevin dynamics, and our models naturally admit a progressive lossy decompression scheme that can be interpreted as a generalization of autoregressive decoding. On the unconditional CIFAR10 dataset, we obtain an Inception score of 9.46 and a state-of-the-art FID score of 3.17. On 256x256 LSUN, we obtain sample quality similar to ProgressiveGAN.*

## Usage

```python
# !pip install diffusers
from diffusers import DiffusionPipeline

model_id = "google/ddpm-celebahq-256"

# load model and scheduler
ddpm = DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained(model_id)

# run pipeline in inference (sample random noise and denoise)
images = ddpm()["sample"]

# save image
images[0].save("ddpm_generated_image.png")
```
