the student <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">while reducing redundant computations and improving efficiency.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Traditional video generation models<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> often require <\/span><b>50 or more iterative denoising steps<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to transform noisy inputs into high-quality video outputs.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Through distillation, the student model learns to approximate the same results using only a <\/span><b>few
