MagCache: Fast Video Generation with Magnitude-Aware Cache

Posted by dbos Berkeley, This Week: Nanoscience

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Zehong Ma, Longhui Wei, Feng Wang, Shiliang Zhang, Qi Tian | Summary: Existing acceleration techniques for video diffusion models often rely on uniform heuristics or time-embedding variants to skip timesteps and reuse cached features. These approaches typically require extensive calibration with curated prompts and risk inconsistent outputs […]
