8.2 How Diffusion Models Work

How Diffusion Models Work (Module 8: The Creator). Key concept: RFdiffusion generates backbones via iterative denoising. Explain how a diffusion model builds a backbone by iteratively denoising random coordinates.

• Explain how a diffusion model builds a backbone by iteratively denoising random coordinates
• Describe what happens early in denoising (topology) against late (geometry)
• Explore how the number of denoising steps changes the output
