To accelerate sampling, we present denoising diffusion implicit models (DDIMs), a more efficient class of iterative implicit probabilistic models
with the same training procedure as DDPMs. In DDPMs, the generative process is defined as the reverse of a Markovian diffusion process.
We construct a class of non-Markovian diffusion processes that lead to the same training objective, but whose reverse process can be much faster to sample from.
