The Seriality Gap in Video Diffusion Models

When one ball strikes another, then another, video models should predict the consequences of each bounce. In controlled experiments on multi-ball hard-sphere dynamics, we find that the performance of standard bidirectional video diffusion degrades as the causal chain lengthens, even when provided more denoising steps.

Transition Matching Distillation for Fast Video Generation

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.
