ReState is a training‑free method for object removal in few‑step diffusion models that corrects the masked clean prediction toward background evidence using a noise‑level‑aware weight that fades out at the final forward pass. It complements attention rerouting, requiring no additional denoiser evaluations, and outperforms existing training‑free techniques on two paired benchmarks and two distilled backbones, improving PSNR by an average of 3.17 dB. On the OBER‑Test set, ReState also surpasses a 50‑step attention‑forcing reference while running 6.7× faster.
arXiv:2608. 12032v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Video diffusion transformers are costly to sample: every denoising step applies self-attention over a long 3D token sequence, a quadratic cost that dominates as resolution and duration grow.
The paper investigates how attention dynamics evolve across recurrent depth in language models, finding that attention support stabilizes early while hidden states and outputs take longer. It proposes WISE, a training‑free method that uses full attention in early steps and then reuses the discovered sparse working set for later steps, preserving performance on multi‑hop QA tasks. Experiments show that WISE maintains quality up to 2K context, offers measurable speedups, and highlights the importance of recurrent discovery of attention support.
