PARE: Pruning and Adaptive Routing for Efficient Video Generation 文章

arXiv:2605.27336v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Video Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) generate high-quality videos but demand substantial compute due to wide blocks, deep architectures, and iterative sampling. Recent methods reduce cost by compressing width, depth, or sampling steps, but typically commit to a fixed architecture that cannot adapt to individual inputs or denoising stages. We propose PARE (Pruning and Adaptive Routing for Efficient video generation), which jointly compresses width and depth with structure-aware pruning and input-adaptive routing. For width, we observe that attention heads specialize into spatial and temporal roles, and design importance scoring that accounts for this distinction to prevent motion-critical temporal heads from being pruned prematurely.
