Researchers have developed a new technique called Dual Feature Caching (DuCa) to accelerate Diffusion Transformers (DiTs), which are widely used for image and video generation. The study challenges the conventional approach of token-wise feature caching, questioning the necessity of computing supposedly important tokens and the effectiveness of their selection. DuCa employs an iterative strategy of aggressive and conservative caching, combined with random token selection, to achieve significant performance improvements over existing methods. This new approach has demonstrated effectiveness across various models including DiT, PixArt, FLUX, and OpenSora. AI
IMPACT This new caching strategy could significantly reduce the computational cost of diffusion models, making advanced image and video generation more accessible and efficient.
