The Cache Learned Which Error Would Reach the Image
GCache optimized reuse against final generation quality instead of trusting local similarity at each diffusion step.
Summary
GCache optimized reuse against final generation quality instead of trusting local similarity at each diffusion step.
The method models how cached approximation errors propagate through a denoising trajectory, then searches for a reuse policy whose weighting aligns with final visual loss. On Wan2.1 video generation, the authors report a 2.17-times speedup while lowering LPIPS from 0.1095 to 0.0316 relative to the compared cache policy. Results across image and video models favor the global-impact strategy. Those gains depend on the tested models, schedules and quality measures rather than guaranteeing the same tradeoff for every diffusion deployment.
Why it matters
GCache optimized reuse against final generation quality instead of trusting local similarity at each diffusion step.
