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.

Video-Rate Streaming Stylization on a Vision-Aware MLLM-Conditioned Edit Diffusion: Asymmetric Batched Inference on a Distilled UNet + MLLM Text Encoder

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.

Two Halves are More than One: Phase-wise Velocity Distillation for Fast and High-Quality Image Generation

The paper introduces Phase-wise Velocity Distillation (PVD), a method that splits the diffusion generation timeline into coarse and fine phases, each handled by a half-sized expert. By decoupling structural composition from detail refinement, PVD achieves higher quality image generation within a single full-backbone compute budget, outperforming monolithic student models. Experiments on ImageNet and text-to-image tasks show competitive FID scores and significant reductions in parameters and VRAM usage.

How far can we go with ImageNet for Text-to-Image generation?

The paper argues that large-scale text‑to‑image models can be trained effectively on ImageNet, provided the dataset is enriched with carefully crafted text and image augmentations. Using this approach, the authors match the performance of state‑of‑the‑art models such as FLUX, surpassing SD3 on GenEval by +5 points and SDXL on DPGBench by +12, while employing only 1/1000th of the training images and significantly fewer parameters. The method requires just 500 hours of H100 GPU time, making it a more reproducible and accessible alternative to massive web‑scraped datasets.
