Accelerating Video Diffusion via Training-Free Trajectory Routing (TRACK) introduces a heterogeneous denoising strategy that switches between large and small diffusion models at selected steps, determined by a calibration process that measures disagreement between model predictions. By routing quality-sensitive steps to the large model and low-disagreement steps to the small model, TRACK achieves significant speedups—up to 2.73×—across several video diffusion benchmarks while maintaining comparable quality and diversity. The method requires no retraining, architectural changes, or online dual-model evaluation, making it a practical acceleration paradigm for video diffusion.
We propose OPSD-V, an on-policy self-distillation paradigm for post-training few-step autoregressive (AR) video diffusion models. Existing few-step AR video generators can produce long videos with low latency, but still suffer from error accumulation and weakened motion dynamics during long autoregressive rollout.
