LinMorph method learns weight transformation for efficient Video DiT linearization

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed LinMorph, a novel method for efficiently linearizing pre-trained Video Diffusion Transformers (Video DiTs). Unlike previous approaches that focus on recovering quality after attention replacement, LinMorph addresses the critical bottleneck of initialization. It learns a cross-parameter morphism to transform softmax-to-linear weights, allowing target Gated DeltaNet (GDN) parameters to draw from multiple pretrained projections. This technique enables faster recovery and better generation quality compared to random initialization or heuristic weight reuse, and can be learned on short clips for reuse at larger video scales.

    LinMorph: Learning to Morph Weights for Efficient Video DiT Linearization

    arXiv:2610.17914v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Post-hoc linearization is an attractive way to accelerate pretrained Video Diffusion Transformers (Video DiTs), yet existing methods largely treat the quality loss induced by attention replacement as a recovery problem. We show th…
