arXiv:2605.30116v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Distribution Matching Distillation (DMD) is a widely used paradigm for accelerating inference in few-step video diffusion models. However, DMD-style video distillation faces two coupled challenges: the fake score must track a continuously evolving generator, making training costly when frequent updates are required, while reverse-KL-style matching can be mode-seeking and conservative for preserving strong motion dynamics. To address these issues, we propose \textbf{Score Gradient Matching Distillation (SGMD)}. SGMD adopts a fake-score perspecti
This research addresses fundamental challenges in video diffusion model distillation, a critical area for efficient AI deployment, indicating current acceleration in AI research towards practical applications.
Improving the efficiency of video diffusion models through distillation directly impacts the computational cost and real-time applicability of advanced AI, vital for sectors like AI agents and robotics.
The proposed SGMD method promises more robust and cost-effective training for few-step video diffusion models, potentially accelerating the development and deployment of video-generating AI.
