HiLo-Token addresses critical latency bottlenecks in Diffusion Transformers by dynamically allocating token budgets based on spatial frequency, significantly accelerating image editing tasks without compromising quality. This approach is particularly relevant for production environments where DiT modules currently dominate inference time despite distillation efforts. By retaining high-frequency details only where necessary and using downsampled representations elsewhere, the method offers a practical pathway to faster generative AI workflows in consumer applications like Photoshop's Generative Fill.
HiLo-Token: Input-Adaptive High-Low Frequency Token Compression for Efficient Image Editing
arXiv:2606.13898v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Creative image editing tools, such as Photoshop's Remove or Generative Fill buttons, are central to everyday customer use and account for a major share of traffic in Photoshop and Lightroom. However, current generative AI models face significant latency challenges, which become even more pronounced when transitioning from convolution-based U-Nets to Diffusion Transformers (DiTs). In our evaluation on hundreds of representative image editing samples spanning a wide range of mask ratios, the DiT module alone accounts for an average of 73% of the total model latency, even after being distilled from 50 timesteps down to 8 timesteps. To tackle this challenge, we propose $\textbf{HiLo-Token}$, an input-adaptive token compression framework that allocates more token budget to high-frequency, rich-context regions while assigning fewer tokens to low-frequency areas. Specifically, for the editing region specified by the user mask, we retain all tokens within a dilated mask to preserve strong locality and contextual relevance. Outside the editing region, we introduce a simple yet effective high-frequency token selection strategy based on spatial frequency to capture important local details, while using tokens from a 16x downsampled image to represent low-frequency components and preserve the blurry but global structure. Extensive experiments on production-level evaluation data validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, achieving 3.13x, 2.59x, and 1.67x DiT speedups on A100-80GB for image editing tasks across small, medium, and large mask ratio categories with average ratios of 6.38%, 15.92%, and 35.36%, respectively, without any regression in generation quality.
