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.

Text-to-image diffusion models expose many inference-time sampling parameters, including prompts, negative prompts, classifier-free guidance scales, and noise schedules. These parameters are typically manually chosen once and then held fixed across prompts and denoising timesteps, even though different prompts and stages of generation can benefit from different parameter values.
