## TL;DR

Latent diffusion models build on denoising diffusion and run image generation in compressed latent spaces. This repair maps DDPM, LDM, and Stable Diffusion claims to direct sources.

## Core Explanation

The previous entry had weak coverage. This version keeps three model-history facts linked to primary AI papers and model documentation.
