SBI tackles the problem of estimating complex models from complex data, and the score-based formulation of diffusion models offers unmatched flexibility for inference and generation. This talk will synthesize recent advancements in diffusion models for SBI, focusing on key developments in training, inference, and evaluation. It will explore the potential of concepts such as guidance, score composition, flow matching, consistency models, and joint modeling. Finally, it will showcase three recent contributions from our group: 1) consistency models for near-real-time Bayesian inference; 2) compositional models for large-scale multilevel estimation, and 3) amortized Bayesian adaptive design for maximizing information gain in sequential experiments.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio:\u003C\/strong\u003E Stefan T.
