Stable and Near-Reversible Diffusion ODE Solvers for Image Editing

arXiv:2605.16399v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The inversion of diffusion models plays a central role in image editing. Algebraically reversible ODE solvers provide an appealing approach to diffusion inversion for text-guided image editing, by eliminating the inversion error inherent in DDIM-based editing pipelines. However, empirical results indicate that reversibility alone is insufficient. As edits require larger semantic or visual changes, reversible diffusion solvers often exhibit instabilities and suffer sharp drops in output quality. In this paper, we show that the trade-off

Why this matters
Why now

The continuous improvement of diffusion models for image editing identifies existing limitations and proposes solutions to enhance their stability and quality, necessary for broader adoption.

Why it’s important

Improved stability and reversibility in diffusion ODE solvers directly enhances the quality and reliability of AI-driven image editing, a critical component for numerous applications.

What changes

The proposed 'stable and near-reversible' solvers aim to overcome current instability issues in text-guided image editing, preventing output quality degradation during complex edits.
