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.

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.
