DeepMind Proposes RMMD Distillation
qberthet · x · 2026-07-18
- This repost highlights a new paper from Google DeepMind: Rewarded Moment Matching Distillation (RMMD).
- The paper attempts to solve a specific problem: how to make diffusion models faster while preserving distillation signals and remaining aligned with downstream rewards.
- The key is combining "acceleration" with "reward alignment," rather than just pursuing speed or performing simple distillation.
