# Matryoshka Diffusion Models

Matryoshka Diffusion Models was introduced in [the paper of the same name](https://huggingface.co/papers/2310.15111), by Jiatao Gu,Shuangfei Zhai, Yizhe Zhang, Josh Susskind, Navdeep Jaitly.

This repository contains the **Flickr 1024** checkpoint.

### Highlights

* This checkpoint was trained on a dataset of 50M text-image pairs collected from Flickr.
* This model was trained using nested UNets at various resolutions, and generates images with a resolution of 1024 × 1024.
* Despite training on relatively small datasets, MDMs show strong zero-shot capabilities of generating high-resolution images and videos.
