DiT: Replacing U-Net with Transformer Finally Made Scaling Laws Work (Sora Foundation)
U-Net shows diminishing returns when scaled up. DiT improves consistently with size. Complete analysis of the architecture behind Sora.
DiT: Diffusion Transformer - A New Paradigm Beyond U-Net
TL;DR: DiT replaces the Diffusion model's backbone from U-Net to Vision Transformer. Scaling laws apply, so performance consistently improves as the model grows larger. It's the foundation technology behind Sora.
