DC-Gen: Post-Training Diffusion Acceleration with Deeply Compressed Latent Space

DC-Gen is a post‑training framework that accelerates text‑to‑image diffusion models by using a deeply compressed latent space. It first aligns the base model’s latent representations with a lightweight embedding alignment, then applies minimal LoRA fine‑tuning to preserve generation quality. Experiments on SANA and FLUX.1‑Krea show that DC‑Gen‑FLUX cuts 4K image generation latency by 53× on an NVIDIA H100 and, with NVFP4 SVDQuant, achieves a 138× total speedup on a single NVIDIA 5090 GPU.

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.

NeoMME: A Single-Tower Multimodal-Native Multilingual Foundation Encoder for Efficient Fine-Tuning and Inference

NeoMME is a family of 260M and 800M‑parameter multimodal‑native multilingual encoders that process text and raw image patches in a single bidirectional Transformer. Trained from scratch with a masked discrete‑diffusion objective conditioned on visible image patches, NeoMME supports a 16,384‑token context, enabling encoding of up to two 4K UHD images. In downstream tests, NeoMME‑Retriever models outperform all sub‑800M‑parameter baselines on the ViDoRe v3 benchmark and achieve twice the throughput of ColModernVBERT on an NVIDIA L40S, while hierarchical token pooling and asymmetric quantization compress embeddings 255× with minimal loss in retrieval performance.

The Weight Is Over - Interactive Diffusion on Consumer GPUs

The paper introduces techniques for efficient on-device diffusion-based image generation on consumer GPUs. It presents an embedding translator that reduces weight and latency by mapping a small text encoder into a larger encoder space, a reproducible sweep recipe for balancing speed, quality, and memory, and an interactive editor that achieves sub‑second time‑to‑first‑image on recent GPUs. These contributions aim to broaden the reach of diffusion pipelines to a wide range of client devices.
