Video-Rate Streaming Stylization on a Vision-Aware MLLM-Conditioned Edit Diffusion: Asymmetric Batched Inference on a Distilled UNet + MLLM Text Encoder

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

arXiv:2606. 05981v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Aggressive distillation of the diffusion U-Net inverts the per-frame bottleneck of real-time text-to-image pipelines: once the denoiser is a 4-step or 1-step distilled student, the text encoder becomes the critical path.

BARD: Bridging AutoRegressive and Diffusion Vision-Language Models Via Highly Efficient Progressive Block Merging and Stage-Wise Distillation

arXiv:2604. 16514v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Autoregressive vision-language models (VLMs) deliver strong multimodal capability, but their token-by-token decoding imposes a fundamental inference bottleneck.

MoE-ViE: Mixture of Experts Vision Encoder for Efficient Image and Video Understanding

MoE-ViE introduces a Mixture-of-Experts vision encoder that scales efficiently for image and video understanding, outperforming dense counterparts across various sizes. The study shows fine‑grained MoE topologies provide significant gains, and proposes an auxiliary‑loss‑free balancing variant and a specialized MoE kernel to reduce inference latency. With frame‑level distillation and a novel freezing mechanism, the largest MoE‑ViE model matches state‑of‑the‑art zero‑shot performance while being 1.7× larger and 76% faster, and it outperforms other encoders when paired with a language model on both image and video benchmarks.

NeoMME: A Single-Tower Multimodal-Native Multilingual Foundation Encoder for Efficient Fine-Tuning and Inference

NeoMME is a family of 260M and 800M‑parameter multimodal‑native multilingual encoders that process text and raw image patches in a single bidirectional Transformer. Trained from scratch with a masked discrete‑diffusion objective conditioned on visible image patches, NeoMME supports a 16,384‑token context, enabling encoding of up to two 4K UHD images. In downstream tests, NeoMME‑Retriever models outperform all sub‑800M‑parameter baselines on the ViDoRe v3 benchmark and achieve twice the throughput of ColModernVBERT on an NVIDIA L40S, while hierarchical token pooling and asymmetric quantization compress embeddings 255× with minimal loss in retrieval performance.

EAServe: Encode-Aware Disaggregated Serving for Multimodal Large Language Models

EAServe introduces an encode-aware disaggregated serving framework for multimodal large language models (MLLMs), restructuring the traditional Prefill-Decode pipeline into a three-stage Encode-Prefill-Decode (EPD) system. By treating Encode as the control point, EAServe coordinates load‑adaptive micro‑batching, rate‑controlled offloading to prefill workers, and dynamic SM partitioning to balance GPU utilization across stages. Its Hybrid Auto Selection (HAS) layer optimizes GPU allocation, encode batch size, and offload ratio using capacity profiling and Bayesian optimization, achieving up to 4.3× higher goodput compared to NVIDIA Dynamo and 1.7× higher than vLLM on various MLLM architectures.
