LearniBridge: Learnable Calibration of Feature Caching for Diffusion Models Acceleration

arXiv:2606.26778v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) have driven substantial progress in image and video generation but suffer from prohibitive computational costs. Feature caching accelerates inference by reusing intermediate representations. Existing methods rely on historical features for implementation simplicity, yet suffer from severe error accumulation at high acceleration ratios. To address this limitation, we investigate the nature of the requisite feature correction. We demonstrate that the optimal calibration update is characterized by a shared low-rank su

Why this matters
Why now

The continuous growth of Diffusion Transformers in generative AI necessitates ongoing research into computational efficiency to make them more viable for widespread application.

Why it’s important

Accelerating inference for Diffusion Models directly impacts the cost and speed of generating large-scale synthetic data, images, and video, which is crucial for AI development and deployment.

What changes

This research introduces a method to significantly reduce the computational cost of diffusion models at high acceleration ratios without severe error accumulation, improving their practical scalability.
