SoftCache introduces an adaptive step size caching mechanism for diffusion transformers, replacing hard binary caching with a soft approach that uses a headroom signal to determine how far cached steps advance. By allowing steps to jump beyond scheduled nodes and shrink as a refresh nears, SoftCache achieves significant speedups—between 3.5× and 6.9×—across image and video models such as FLUX, HunyuanVideo, and Wan2.1, outperforming all baselines on four fidelity metrics.

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.
