Video-Rate Streaming Stylization on a Vision-Aware MLLM-Conditioned Edit Diffusion: Asymmetric Batched Inference on a Distilled UNet + MLLM Text Encoder

arXiv:2606.05981v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Aggressive distillation of the diffusion U-Net inverts the per-frame bottleneck of real-time text-to-image pipelines: once the denoiser is a 4-step or 1-step distilled student, the text encoder becomes the critical path. This inversion is most acute in vision-aware edit diffusion, where the encoder is a multimodal large language model (MLLM). We study the case of a 0.39B distilled edit U-Net paired with a 2.13B MLLM text encoder (Qwen3-VL) and present a streaming pipeline targeted at this regime built around three engineering mechanisms: asymmet…
