PixVid adapts a pretrained video diffusion transformer to generate pixels one frame at a time, replacing temporally compressed VAE latents with pixel patches. It predicts clean video and aligns controls to individual frames, avoiding block waits. On text-to-video generation, it scores 84.78 VBench versus 84.05 for Wan2.1, while control latency falls from 495 ms to 34 ms at lower throughput.
