BudgetPix: Compute-Adaptive Tokenization for Pixel-Space Image Diffusion
Most image generation models rely on uniform tokenization, allocating the exact same computational budget to equally-sized image patches. This static paradigm cannot adapt to different resource constraints at inference time, and yields suboptimal quality-cost tradeoff by devoting the same effort to both plain backgroun...
