Consistent Distribution Matching for Data-Free Diffusion Distillation
Consistent Distribution Matching is a data‑free distillation technique that accelerates diffusion and flow models by unifying sample generation and score estimation in a single student network. The method requires only a frozen teacher and a trainable student, optimizing a single objective that provably leads to Wasserstein convergence of the student’s flow‑map to the teacher’s marginals. On ImageNet 256×256, it achieves an FID of 2.04 with one function evaluation and 1.37 with four evaluations after just 40 training epochs, outperforming existing data‑free baselines.

DMAD: Distribution Matching as Adversarial Distillation for Fast Visual Generation
DMAD (Distribution Matching as Adversarial Distillation) reinterprets distribution matching as a classification task, enabling a few‑step student model to learn log‑density ratios directly via two discriminator heads on a shared backbone. This eliminates the need for an auxiliary diffusion model, reducing memory and computation overhead. Experiments show DMAD achieves state‑of‑the‑art Fréchet Inception Distance scores on ImageNet‑64x64, COCO‑10K, and VBench, and outperforms competing few‑step methods in joint audio‑video generation on MiniMax‑H3‑33B.

VDOT++: Unified Few-Step Video Generation via Unbalanced Optimal Transport Distillation
The paper introduces VDOT++, a unified distillation framework for few-step video generation across text-to-video, image-to-video, and condition-based tasks. It extends the previous VDOT method by incorporating an asymmetric unbalanced optimal transport distillation that allows student tokens to carry less mass, and an α1 ground cost that uses a weighted median to preserve modes. The approach combines distribution matching with adversarial refinement and cross-scale distillation, achieving competitive performance on multiple video benchmarks with only four sampling steps.
