QuantSparse: Comprehensively Compressing Video Diffusion Transformer with Model Quantization and Attention Sparsification

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2509.23681v4 Announce Type: replace Diffusion transformers exhibit remarkable video generation capability, yet their prohibitive computational and memory costs hinder practical deployment. Model quantization and attention sparsification are two promising directions for compression, but each alone suffers severe performance degradation under aggressive compression. Combining them promises compounded efficiency gains, but naive integration is ineffective. The sparsity-induced information loss exacerbates quantization noise, leading to amplified attention shifts.
