New BAG policy accelerates Diffusion Transformers with adaptive caching

Researchers have developed BAG (Budget-Aware Gating), a new caching policy designed to accelerate Diffusion Transformers (DiTs). Unlike previous methods that either lacked budget awareness or instance adaptivity, BAG uses a lightweight gating network to dynamically decide whether to re-use cached features or perform full computation. This approach, trained via offline-to-online schedule distillation, consistently outperforms existing caching techniques across various speedup levels and resolutions on FLUX.1-dev and Wan2.1 datasets.

    BAG: Budget-Aware Gating for Diffusion Caching

    arXiv:2608.09231v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diffusion caching is a lightweight strategy that accelerates Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) by reusing intermediate features across denoising steps, but existing paradigms face a fundamental trade-off: online heuristics lack global b…
