The paper introduces DM-Align, a single-stage optimization framework that jointly performs distribution matching for distillation and aligns video generative models with human preferences. By deriving complementary gradient directions—one minimizing the gap between real and fake models and another guiding the model toward preferred samples—the method eliminates the need for separate reinforcement learning and distillation stages. Experiments on multiple foundational video models show that this sample-guided approach consistently outperforms both standalone variants and traditional two-stage pipelines.

Generative models have undergone many generations of evolution, from VAEs/GANs to diffusion/flow matching. Along the way, the underlying techniques have become more complicated and various beliefs about what drives strong empirical performance have taken hold.
