Researchers have identified that acceleration in diffusion transformers, particularly methods like REPA and dispersive regularization, is significantly influenced by the reorganization of AdaLN-Zero residual gates. This suggests that improvements in training speed may stem from reshaping the internal gating pathways rather than solely from explicit feature structures. The study introduces a normalized participation ratio (nPR) to measure gate organization, finding that broader participation correlates with better generation quality. A new teacher-free radial objective, based on feature-norm regularization, was proposed and demonstrated improved FID scores on ImageNet while promoting wider gate participation. AI
