Classifier-Free Guidance (CFG)

Extrapolates between conditional and unconditional predictions to follow prompts.

无分类器引导 CFG 2022 Intermediate core

IN PLAIN WORDS

Randomly drop the condition in training so one model does both; at sampling, push along the difference. Higher guidance follows prompts more at the cost of diversity.
