arXiv:2607.06631v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Video Diffusion Models (VDMs) have demonstrated superior generation quality but suffer from prohibitive computational costs. While recent few-step distillation techniques significantly accelerate inference, they typically enforce a static model architecture across all denoising stages, ignoring the varying computational demands inherent to different noise levels. In this work, we propose a novel post-training acceleration framework that exploits this redundancy by integrating dynamic structural sparsification directly into the distillation process. Unlike conventional post-hoc compression applied to a fixed diffusion pipeline, our approach jointly optimizes the denoising steps and structured model sparsity, transforming a pre-trained VDM into a compact, step-specific Mixture-of-Models (MoM). To address the training instability arising from this joint optimization, we introduce a Progressive Training Strategy coupled with an Output Rollout Mechanism, which ensures the coherent learning of structural decisions across timesteps. Furthermore, we develop a specialized inference engine to deploy the resulting MoM efficiently. Our method is orthogonal to existing acceleration techniques and highly effective: On Wan-14B, it removes 24% of the per-step FLOPs on top of 4-step distillation, adding a 1.2x wall-clock gain and reaching a 30x speedup over the 50-step teacher while preserving competitive generation quality.
