arXiv:2606. 05981v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Aggressive distillation of the diffusion U-Net inverts the per-frame bottleneck of real-time text-to-image pipelines: once the denoiser is a 4-step or 1-step distilled student, the text encoder becomes the critical path.

EAServe introduces an encode-aware disaggregated serving framework for multimodal large language models (MLLMs), restructuring the traditional Prefill-Decode pipeline into a three-stage Encode-Prefill-Decode (EPD) system. By treating Encode as the control point, EAServe coordinates load‑adaptive micro‑batching, rate‑controlled offloading to prefill workers, and dynamic SM partitioning to balance GPU utilization across stages. Its Hybrid Auto Selection (HAS) layer optimizes GPU allocation, encode batch size, and offload ratio using capacity profiling and Bayesian optimization, achieving up to 4.3× higher goodput compared to NVIDIA Dynamo and 1.7× higher than vLLM on various MLLM architectures.

arXiv:2607. 14898v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Real-time video generation demands fast decoding as much as fast denoising, yet current latent video diffusion models rely on 3D convolutional decoders that are slow and memory-intensive at high resolutions or for long video.

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.

MoE-ViE introduces a Mixture-of-Experts vision encoder that scales efficiently for image and video understanding, outperforming dense counterparts across various sizes. The study shows fine‑grained MoE topologies provide significant gains, and proposes an auxiliary‑loss‑free balancing variant and a specialized MoE kernel to reduce inference latency. With frame‑level distillation and a novel freezing mechanism, the largest MoE‑ViE model matches state‑of‑the‑art zero‑shot performance while being 1.7× larger and 76% faster, and it outperforms other encoders when paired with a language model on both image and video benchmarks.
Large-scale visual generators are increasingly capable but costly to train, fine-tune, and deploy. We introduce Mage-Flow, a compact 4B-scale generative stack for efficient text-to-image generation and instruction-based image editing.
