Overview

  • LeanVAE is an ultra-efficient VAE designed for video diffusion models
  • Uses wavelet transform and dual-pathway architecture for better compression
  • Achieves 35.7× compression while maintaining high fidelity
  • Runs 2.62× faster than previous methods like VQVAE
  • Obtains state-of-the-art FVD scores when used in video generation

Plain English Explanation

Video diffusion models have revolutionized AI-generated videos, but they require massive computational resources. The bottleneck often lies in the encoding and decoding process handled by Variational Autoencoders (VAEs).

LeanVAE tackles this problem head-on. Think of it like a...
