Diffusion models have emerged as powerful generative models capable of producing high-quality contents such as images, videos, and audio, demonstrating their potential to revolutionize digital content creation. However, these capabilities come at the cost of their significant computational resources and lengthy generation time, underscoring the critical need to develop efficient techniques for practical deployment. In this survey, we provide a systematic and comprehensive review of research on efficient diffusion models. We organize the literature in a taxonomy consisting of three main categories, covering distinct yet interconnected efficient diffusion model topics from algorithm-level, system-level, and framework perspective, respectively. We have also created a GitHub repository where we organize the papers featured in this survey at https://github.com/AIoT-MLSys-Lab/Efficient-Diffusion-Model-Survey. We hope our survey can serve as a valuable resource to help researchers and practitioners gain a systematic understanding of efficient diffusion model research and inspire them to contribute to this important and exciting field.

    cs.CV 2026-02 conditional novelty 5.0

    A training-free entropy-guided token-pruning framework accelerates VAR image generation up to 2.9× with negligible benchmark loss by activating pruning at an adaptive entropy-growth inflection point and adjusting rati...

  4. Enhancing Text-to-Image Diffusion Transformer via Split-Text Conditioning

    cs.CV 2025-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    DiT-ST converts complete-text captions into split-text primitives via LLMs and injects them hierarchically across denoising stages to reduce semantic confusion in DiT-based text-to-image generation.
