Can diffusion models have reasoning steps where they generate a block, introspect and then generate another until the output is satisfactory?
Well, you can take the output of a first pass and pass it back through the model like AR “reasoning” models do at inference time.
Yes and has this been tried?
Yes, Mercury 2 is a reasoning model [0].
