  <strong>Awesome list of consistency models</strong>
</div>

Consistency models represent a class of generative models that enable high-quality sample generation in one or few steps, addressing the iterative sampling limitations of traditional diffusion models. Introduced in the seminal work "Consistency Models" (ICML 2023), they achieve this by learning a mapping from noise to data that satisfies a self-consistency property, allowing direct distillation from pretrained diffusion models or training from scratch. This approach has led to state-of-the-art results in few-step generation, with applications spanning image synthesis, audio, video, and beyond. Subsequent advancements have focused on stability, scalability, and extensions to new domains like robotics and 3D generation.

Papers are sorted by publication year in descending order, focusing on key contributions in consistency models and related advancements.
