ElasticDiT: Efficient Diffusion Transformers via Elastic Architecture and Sparse Attention for High-Resolution Image Generation on Mobile Devices

ArXi:2605.15684v1 Announce Type: new The Diffusion Transformer (DiT) architecture is the state-of-the-art paradigm for high-fidelity image generation, underpinning models like Stable Diffusion-3 and FLUX.1. However, deploying these models on resource-constrained mobile devices entails prohibitive computational and memory overhead. While efficiency-driven approaches like Linear-DiT and static pruning alleviate bottlenecks, they often incur quality degradation. Unlike cloud environments, mobile constraints require a single-model paradigm that dynamically balances fidelity and latency. We
