The paper introduces DART, a training‑free technique that combines low‑rank coordinate transport with target‑schedule response calibration to improve the reuse of LoRA adapters in few‑step video diffusion models. By using forward evaluations without source training videos, DART enhances joint quality scores and functional retention on a four‑step Wan2.2 target, with calibration contributing most of the gains. Component analysis shows complementary benefits from coordinate transport, and adapter‑level results indicate both positive functional effects and reduced negative transfer across different adapters.

Diffusion models have enabled high-quality video generation in recent years, but the high cost of iterative sampling hinders their practical deployment. Few-step distillation alleviates this cost, yet exposes a quality--diversity trade-off between its two dominant paradigms: trajectory-level distillation (e.
The paper introduces TRACK, a training‑free trajectory routing method that accelerates video diffusion by selectively switching between large and small models during denoising steps. A calibration process generates a disagreement score map, guiding the selection of the appropriate model at each step to maintain quality while reducing computational cost. Experiments on Wan 2.1, Cosmos 3, TurboDiffusion, and FastVideo show speedups ranging from 1.95× to 2.73× with comparable quality and diversity.
