BudgetPix adaptive tokenization matches full-compute pixel diffusion quality with 25% compute

UIUC and Google researchers introduce BudgetPix, a compute-adaptive tokenization framework for pixel-space diffusion models that allocates compute by visual complexity via entropy-guided quadtree and multi-scale patches. It matches full-compute image fidelity using only 25% of the compute.
