Diffusion Model
ModelDefinition
A generative model that learns to reverse a gradual noising process. Starting from pure noise, the model iteratively denoises to produce images, audio, or video. Powers Stable Diffusion, DALL-E 3, Midjourney, and Sora.

GAN (Generative Adversarial Network)
An architecture with two networks — a generator that creates synthetic data and a discriminator that tries to distinguish real from fake. Training as an adversarial game pushes the generator toward photorealistic output. Largely superseded by diffusion models for images.
Multimodal
A model capable of processing and generating multiple types of data — text, images, audio, and video — within a single unified architecture. Examples include GPT-4o, Gemini, Claude (vision), and Sora.
