linoy_tsaban · x · 2026-10-23
linoytsaban tested two newly released distillation LoRAs for the H3 video model: SMD (Simplified Matching Distillation) and PTD (Parametric Trajectory Distillation).
- Both perform well overall; she prefers SMD.
- PTD struggles more with speech.
- Quality difference between 4-step and 8-step sampling appears minor.
- She jokes H3 may have set a record for distillation finetunes per model. Test links and sample videos included.
