CachedSearch accelerates video diffusion model search with novel caching

Researchers have developed CachedSearch, a novel training-free method to accelerate test-time search for video diffusion models. This technique significantly reduces the computational cost of generating high-quality video outputs by aggressively caching intermediate results, making each rollout 2-3 times faster without substantial quality degradation. CachedSearch achieves this by exploring candidates with caching and then re-generating only the best one at full compute, capturing over 94% of the gain from full search at a reduced cost. The method is demonstrated to be effective across various model sizes and architectures, including Wan, LTX, CogVideoX, and Hunyuan, and is adaptable to different model families by recalibrating a single parameter.

    CachedSearch: Training-Free Cached Exploration for Test-Time Search in Video Diffusion

    arXiv:2607.23159v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Test-time search lets small video diffusion models rival larger ones, but costs 2-10x more. All candidates are fully denoised, although most are discarded. Training-free caching makes each rollout 2-3x faster at near-lossless qualit…
