Thermodynamic Diffusion Inference with Minimal Digital Conditioning

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2604.14332v1 Announce Type: cross Diffusion-model inference and overdamped Langevin dynamics are formally identical. A physical substrate that encodes the score function. therefore. equilibrates to the correct output by thermodynamics alone, requiring no digital arithmetic during inference and potentially achieving a $10{,}000\times$ reduction in energy relative to a
