Transition Matching Distillation for Fast Video Generation

arXiv:2601. 09881v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large video diffusion and flow models have achieved remarkable success in high-quality video generation, but their use in real-time interactive applications remains limited due to their inefficient multi-step sampling process.

UltraFlux: Data-Model Co-Design for High-quality Native 4K Text-to-Image Generation across Diverse Aspect Ratios

arXiv:2511. 18050v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diffusion transformers have recently delivered strong text-to-image generation around 1K resolution, but we show that extending them to native 4K across diverse aspect ratios exposes a tightly coupled failure mode spanning positional encoding, VAE compression, and optimization.

Optimizing Few-Step Generation with Adaptive Matching Distillation

arXiv:2602. 07345v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Distribution Matching Distillation (DMD) is a powerful acceleration paradigm, yet its stability is often compromised in Forbidden Zone, regions where the real teacher provides unreliable guidance while the fake teacher exerts insufficient repulsive force.

BARD: Bridging AutoRegressive and Diffusion Vision-Language Models Via Highly Efficient Progressive Block Merging and Stage-Wise Distillation

arXiv:2604. 16514v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Autoregressive vision-language models (VLMs) deliver strong multimodal capability, but their token-by-token decoding imposes a fundamental inference bottleneck.

Mixture of Distributions Matters: Dynamic Sparse Attention for Efficient Video Diffusion Transformers

arXiv:2601. 11641v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: While Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) have achieved notable progress in video generation, this long-sequence generation task remains constrained by the quadratic complexity inherent to self-attention mechanisms, creating significant barriers to practical deployment.

Variance Reduction on the Camera Axis: Multi-View Score Distillation for 3D

Score distillation turns a pretrained 2D diffusion model into a 3D generator, but the per-step gradient is estimated from a single randomly chosen view: it is high-variance and blind to global shape consistency. Prior work addresses this by retraining the diffusion prior on multi-view data; this improves consistency but makes the sampling contribution inseparable from prior quality.
