MixiMotion: One-Step Text-to-Motion Generation via Asymmetric Set Distillation

Iterative text-to-motion generation delivers high-quality and semantically aligned motions but requires multiple network evaluations, resulting in substantial inference latency. We present \textbf{MixiMotion}, a strict one-step text-to-motion generation framework based on offline set distillation. Instead of distilling a single teacher trajectory for each text prompt, MixiMotion constructs an offline bank of multiple teacher motions and aligns teacher and student sample sets through \textbf{asymmetric bidirectional matching}. The teacher-to-student direction promotes coverage of diverse teacher-supported motions, while the student-to-teacher direction suppresses unsupported generations. We further introduce differentiable decoded-space kinematic supervision to complement normalized representation matching with constraints in the decoded motion space. At inference, MixiMotion generates a complete motion sequence with a single network evaluation, without teacher queries, iterative sampling, or candidate ranking. On ViMoGen, MixiMotion achieves a semantic alignment score of $0.835$, outperforming the evaluated one-step baselines and approaching the $0.858$ score of its 50-step HY-Motion-1.0-Lite teacher. In blinded human evaluation, MixiMotion obtains an overall rating of $4.33$, compared with $4.50$ for the teacher, while outperforming the evaluated one-/few-step baselines. Meanwhile, generation latency is reduced from $829.58$\,ms to $9.30$\,ms, corresponding to an $89.2\times$ speedup. These results demonstrate an effective quality--efficiency trade-off for strict one-step text-to-motion generation.

MixiSpeech: Progressive State Distillation for One-Step Vietnamese TTS

Conditional-flow text-to-speech (TTS) models can achieve high synthesis quality with relatively few sampling steps, but collapsing the remaining trajectory to a single update can still cause substantial quality degradation. We propose MixiSpeech, a progressive state distillation framework that converts a multi-step conditional-flow acoustic model into a one-step generator while preserving its architecture and speaker conditioning. Rather than training the one-step model directly, MixiSpeech progressively reduces the global sampling budget through a 10-4-2-1 curriculum, with each student trained to match local teacher-integration endpoints using a masked state-matching objective. We instantiate the framework on a 710-speaker Vietnamese Matcha-TTS model trained from scratch on PhoAudiobook. On 100 shared test text-speaker pairs, direct one-step inference substantially degrades synthesis quality, obtaining 1.6846 UTMOS22-Strong and 6.21% WER compared with 2.2923 and 4.65% for the 10-step teacher. In contrast, the distilled one-step model achieves 2.2678 UTMOS22-Strong, 4.63% WER, and 2.83% CER, recovering most of the quality lost at the one-step operating point while requiring only a single acoustic vector-field evaluation. End-to-end inference time decreases from 0.0662 s for the 10-step teacher to 0.0312 s for MixiSpeech, corresponding to a 2.12 measured speedup. These results show that progressive state distillation can make one-step conditional-flow TTS practical without relying on a large multi-step sampling budget.

SwiftAudio: Data-Efficient Caption-Only Distillation for One-Step Text-to-Audio Diffusion-based Generation

Diffusion-based text-to-audio (TTA) models achieve impressive synthesis quality but suffer from high inference latency due to iterative multi-step denoising. Existing one-step approaches alleviate this issue but still rely on paired text--audio data during distillation. To address these limitations, we propose SwiftAudio, a one-step TTA framework that performs audio-free distillation from a pretrained diffusion teacher using only text captions. Specifically, we adapt Variational Score Distillation (VSD) to the audio domain and introduce a temporal smoothness regularization objective to encourage coherent latent audio representations. This design enables the student model to inherit the teacher's generative prior without requiring paired audio supervision and allows effective training with only approximately 45K captions. Experiments on AudioCaps and Clotho demonstrate that SwiftAudio achieves state-of-the-art performance among strict one-step methods and substantially narrows the gap to multi-step diffusion systems.
