PDMD: Projected Distribution Matching Distillation for Video Diffusion Models

Modern video diffusion models require tens of denoising evaluations over long spatiotemporal token sequences. Distribution Matching Distillation (DMD) reduces the number of function evaluations (NFE) to just a few. However, DMD samples can degrade during training, exhibiting progressive oversaturation and artifacts. We trace this instability to critic errors, which enter successive student updates and accumulate over time. We introduce Projected Distribution Matching Distillation (PDMD) to filte

Telescopic Language Models

One deployed language model must often serve many compute budgets, yet serving each budget still means a separate training or compression run per point. We train a Telescopic Language Model (TLM) to be that continuum: a nested-capacity Transformer supervised by stochastic prefix supervision with a full anchor. At every step, one randomly truncated prefix of the capacity axis is trained against the full next-token target, alongside one full-capacity pass, so the trained artifact is a valid langua
