User Study Time!

Which one do you think is better? Some images are generated by Pixart-α (50 NFE). Some images are generated by TDM (4 NFE), distilling from Pixart-α in a data-free way with merely 500 training iterations and 2 A800 hours.

Fast Text-to-Video Geneartion

Our proposed TDM can be easily extended to text-to-video.

<p align="center"> <img src="teacher.gif" alt="Teacher" width="100%"> <img src="student.gif" alt="Student" width="100%"> </p>

The video on the above was generated by CogVideoX-2B (100 NFE). In the same amount of time, TDM (4NFE) can generate 25 videos, as shown in the below, achieving an impressive 25 times speedup without performance degradation. (Note: The noise in the GIF is due to compression.)

The sample generated by SD3 with 56 NFE is on the right, and the sample generated by TDM with 4NFE is on the left. Which one do you feel is better?

# We train the generator on timesteps [999, 856, 665, 399].
