arXiv:2605. 20708v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) have become a de facto backbone of modern visual generation, and nearly every major axis of their design -- tokenization, attention, conditioning, objectives, and latent autoencoders -- has been extensively revisited.
arXiv:2506. 14202v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: End-to-end backpropagation requires storing activations throughout all layers, creating memory bottlenecks that limit model scalability.
arXiv:2606. 26538v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deep Transformers are composed of uniformly stacked residual blocks, yet their deepest layers often add little value.
arXiv:2608. 01298v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) have emerged as a core architecture in generative modeling due to their scalability and adaptability to multimodal tasks.
arXiv:2607. 24665v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern large language models scale successfully by pairing capacity growth with efficiency, keeping per-token and deployment costs under control as capacity grows.
The paper introduces SVDtrunc, a two‑step block‑level compression method for Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) that allocates ranks across blocks, applies truncated SVD to the least important ones, and then fine‑tunes all blocks with modular knowledge distillation and a rectified‑flow objective. Experiments on FLUX.dev show that SVDtrunc achieves near‑full performance at 68% of the original parameters and remains competitive even at 57%, outperforming all competing approaches on GenEval, HPSv2, and DPG benchmarks. The method also works well without fine‑tuning, complementing step distillation and offering a practical path to efficient large‑scale generative models.

Diffusion transformer (DiT) research on image generation has converged to a single evaluation setup: class-conditional generation on ImageNet. While methods improve the FID and related metrics, it is increasingly unclear whether they reflect real progress in generative modeling.
