TLDR
Diffusion models can produce striking images and videos, but they still struggle with the compositional details that make a generation faithful to a prompt, such as object counts, attribute binding, spatial relations, and temporally grounded actions. A common way to improve prompt satisfaction is to spend more compute at test time through Best-of-N sampling, but final-sample selection is fixed. Best-of-N can only choose among completed outputs and cannot repair a promising trajectory before it fails. We introduce PreviewDiff, a training-free test-time search method that turns diffusion samplin
