Parametric Trajectory Distillation for Few-Step Video Generation

Video diffusion and flow models require many sequential evaluations, making generation computationally expensive. Few-step distillation reduces this cost but poses a capacity allocation problem: a student must match the teacher's iterative generation with far less sequential computation. Existing trajectory methods ask...

Large Language Continuous Diffusion Models

Despite the success of discrete diffusion language models (dLMs) for fast parallel decoding, their non-smooth, high-dimensional space hinders trajectory steering for reasoning and inference acceleration. To overcome this, we present Sigma, the first large-scale (3B/8B) continuous dLM built on steerable, low-dimensional...

Mode Seeking meets Mean Seeking for Fast Long Video Generation

This paper proposes a training paradigm where Mode Seeking meets Mean Seeking, decoupling local fidelity from long-term coherence based on a unified representation via a Decoupled Diffusion Transformer, and closes the fidelity-horizon gap by jointly improving local sharpness, motion and long-range consistency.

Scaling Reinforcement Learning for Diffusion Models via Velocity Matching

This work proposes reward-based velocity matching (RVM), a simple trajectory-free update that acts directly on the velocity field and provides a general framework that recovers recent fine-tuning methods, including RAM and DiffusionNFT, as special cases.

Flex-Forcing: Towards a Unified Autoregressive and Bidirectional Video Diffusion Model

Flex-Forcing is introduced, a unified training and inference framework that enables a video diffusion model to seamlessly operate under both bidirectional and autoregressive generation regimes, and achieves consistently better video quality, long-video stability than strong baselines with a rigid inference schedule.

Tensor Train Diffusion: Leveraging Low-Rank Structures for High-Dimensional Score-Based Sampling

This work introduces a novel and efficient solver for the underlying HJB equation based on the functional tensor train (FTT) format, which leverages latent low-rank structures to efficiently approximate high-dimensional functions, enabling both model compression and rapid computation.

Parallel Decoding Distillation for Fast Image and Video Generation

Generation in video diffusion or flow models is computationally expensive due to the slow and iterative sampling process. Current state-of-the-art (SOTA) acceleration methods heavily rely on variational score distillation (VSD) and adversarial losses to distill diffusion models into few-step generators. Albeit achievin...
