Could you build this?
No PDMD is cutting-edge AI research on step distillation for video diffusion models produced by ByteDance and UCSD researchers, requiring deep mathematical generative AI expertise and massive GPU clusters.
What it would actually take: The project implements projected distribution matching distillation to compress video diffusion models (like Wan2.1 and MiniMax) down to 2-4 network evaluations without quality degradation. Developing this requires specialized PhD-level knowledge in diffusion theory, optimal transport, and score distillation, alongside a multi-node GPU cluster (e.g., H100s) with distributed training frameworks (DeepSpeed, Megatron-LM) to train and benchmark multi-billion parameter video models.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a model & infra tool for Fintech yet.
