Z²-Sampling implicitly realizes zero-cost zigzag trajectories for curvature-aware semantic alignment in diffusion models by reducing multi-step paths via operator dualities and temporal caching while synthesizing a directional derivative penalty.
A survey that groups efficient video diffusion methods into four paradigms—step distillation, efficient attention, model compression, and cache/trajectory optimization—and outlines open challenges for practical use.
BudCache optimizes step cache policies for a fixed inference budget in diffusion models via combinatorial search, outperforming threshold heuristics in quality on FLUX.1-dev and Wan2.1.
A state-adaptive noise-trajectory scheduler selects intermediate video conditions for action generation, matching or beating full-denoising WAMs at far lower latency.
Instance-level sampling schedules optimized via REINFORCE with James-Stein estimator improve text-to-image alignment and allow 5-step Flux generation to match deliberately distilled samplers.
