How Diffusion Models Actually Work
Iterative denoising loop. Latent space compression makes it GPU-friendly.

Prevent API abuse with token bucket. Atomic Lua scripts solve race conditions in distributed systems.
TTL, purge, versioned URLs, soft purge. Pick consistency guarantees upfront.
Multi-tier caching, Origin Shield, pull vs push. 85% origin load reduction.
Q, K, V matrices compute context. Scaling prevents saturation. Each token gets enriched.
Physics limits latency. CDNs reduce distance. 93% faster for cached content.
Self-attention replaced sequential processing. RNNs became obsolete overnight.
Two approaches: Base62 encoding (no collisions) vs MD5 hashing (deterministic).
