arXiv:2602. 13357v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) achieve state-of-the-art performance in high-fidelity image and video generation but suffer from expensive inference due to their iterative denoising structure.

The paper introduces HetA-DiT, a heterogeneous attention mechanism for video diffusion models that allocates computation based on token difficulty. A lightweight uncertainty branch predicts denoising difficulty, routing uncertain tokens through dense global attention while applying efficient local attention to reliable tokens. This adaptive routing retains global context where needed, offers a single parameter to balance quality and efficiency, and achieves competitive generation quality while only about 20% of tokens use dense attention.

High-resolution image and video diffusion models, including SD3, FLUX, and recent video diffusion transformers, have substantially improved generative quality but remain expensive at inference time because they repeatedly evaluate attention-heavy denoisers over many sampling steps. We address this inefficiency by exploiting redundancy in intermediate diffusion features rather than changing model weights or retraining.

Driving video generation models support autonomous-driving development by predicting controllable future scenes for simulation, planning evaluation, and offline data generation. Diffusion-based driving generators repeatedly evaluate large backbones across denoising steps, which limits generation throughput.
The paper introduces TRACK, a training‑free trajectory routing method that accelerates video diffusion by selectively switching between large and small models during denoising steps. A calibration process generates a disagreement score map, guiding the selection of the appropriate model at each step to maintain quality while reducing computational cost. Experiments on Wan 2.1, Cosmos 3, TurboDiffusion, and FastVideo show speedups ranging from 1.95× to 2.73× with comparable quality and diversity.
