I haven't dug in yet, but it _should_ be possible to use their ideas in other diffusion networks? It may be a non-trivial change to the code provided though. Happy to be corrected of course.

I suspect the trick only works because DeepFloyd-IF operates in pixel space while other diffusion models operate in the latent space.
