Keeping Image Quality with Only 20 Diffusion Steps: The TC‑Padé Acceleration Method

TC‑Padé uses a Padé‑based residual prediction framework, step‑aware strategies, and a trajectory‑stability indicator to accelerate diffusion sampling to as few as 20 steps while preserving visual fidelity, achieving up to 2.88× speed‑up on image generation and 1.72× on video generation.
