Stacking non-linear layers allows deep neural networks to model complicated functions, and including residual connections in Transformer layers is beneficial for convergence and performance. However, residual connections may make the model…

Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) excel at generation, but their global self-attention makes controllable, reference-image-based editing a distinct challenge. Unlike U-Nets, naively injecting local appearance into a DiT can disrupt its holistic…

Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) achieve state-of-the-art performance in text-to-image synthesis but remain computationally expensive due to the iterative nature of denoising and the quadratic cost of global attention. In this work, we observe…
