VA-TDM: Improving Few-Step Diffusion via Velocity Adversarial Distillation
November 3, 2026
VA-TDM uses Velocity Adversarial Distillation to improve the quality of few-step diffusion models. By employing a learned critic to compare student and teacher velocity fields, the method addresses the inaccuracies in score estimation during intermediate sampling steps.
