DyMD introduces a Distribution Matching Distillation framework that adapts teacher supervision and critic fitting to preserve interaction dynamics in few-step video generation. By employing temporal affinity–conditioned re‑noise sampling and dynamics‑guided fake‑score tracking, DyMD balances motion recovery with visual quality. The method distills a 14B teacher into a 1.3B student that achieves significant gains on embodied‑video benchmarks and downstream action planning tasks.

arXiv:2608. 09226v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Efficient text-to-image generation requires both reinforcement-learning (RL)-based reward alignment and few-step distillation, yet these procedures are typically performed sequentially, increasing training cost and risking the loss of reward gains during compression.

ViRDM is a new post‑training method for few‑step causal video generation that eliminates the need for a large teacher model and an online critic. By applying representation distribution matching (RDM) with a precomputed target distribution, a lightweight VAE decoder, and staged vector–Jacobian products, ViRDM overcomes memory, optimization, and temporal dynamics challenges. The approach reduces GPU memory usage and training time, achieving state‑of‑the‑art VBench performance with only 20 generator updates and 16 A100 GPU‑hours.

Efficient text-to-image generation requires both reinforcement-learning (RL)-based reward alignment and few-step distillation, yet these procedures are typically performed sequentially, increasing training cost and risking the loss of reward gains during compression. We instead take an RL-native perspective: diffusion RL already generates reward-scored finite-step trajectories, whose intermediate states provide a natural source of distillation supervision rather than a disposable byproduct of sampling.

LiveVVT introduces a rolling streaming diffusion framework for video virtual try‑on that maintains high visual fidelity while enabling real‑time performance. By confining bidirectional spatio‑temporal modeling to a fixed‑size window and using bounded temporal and global appearance memories, it emits clean video chunks with low latency. A progressive distillation pipeline further refines the model, achieving superior quality with 26× lower latency and 11× higher throughput compared to prior methods.
