Abstract
Controllable diffusion models using linear attention architectures enable secure on-device visual generation with improved multi-condition input handling and faster convergence.
AI-generated summary
Recent advances in diffusion-based controllable visual generation have led to remarkable improvements in image quality. However, these powerful models are typically deployed on cloud servers due to their large computational demands, raising serious concerns about user data privacy. To enable secure and efficient on-device generation, we explore in this paper controllable diffusion models built upon linear attention architectures, which offer superior scalability and efficiency, even on edge devices. Yet, our experiments reveal that existing controllable generation frameworks, such as ControlNet and OminiControl, either lack the flexibility to support multiple heterogeneous condition types or suffer from slow convergence on such linear-attention models. To address these limitations, we propose a novel controllable diffusion framework tailored for linear attention backbones like SANA. The core of our method lies in a unified gated conditioning module working in a dual-path pipeline, which effectively integrates multi-type conditional inputs, such as spatially aligned and non-aligned cues. Extensive experiments on multiple tasks and benchmarks demonstrate that our approach achieves state-of-the-art controllable generation performance based on linear-attention models, surpassing existing methods in terms of fidelity and controllability.

Is Turboquant really a game changer?
I am currently utilizing qwen3.5 and Gemma 4 model. Realized Gemma 4 requires 2x ram for same context length. As far as I understand, what turbo quant gives is quantizing kv cache into about 4 bit and minimize the loses But Q8 still not lose the context that much so isn't kv cache ram for qwen 3.5 q8 and Gemma 4 truboquant is the same? Is turboquant also applicable in qwen's cache architecture? because as far as I know they didn't tested it in qwen3.5 style kv cache in their paper. Just curious, I started to learn local LLM recently submitted by /u/Interesting-Print366 [link] [comments]
Found how to toggle reasoning mode for Gemma in LM-Studio!
I’ve figured out how to trigger the reasoning process by adding "/think" to the system prompt. Heads up: the thought tags have an unusual pipe ( | ) placement, which is why many LLM fail to parse the reasoning section correctly. So Start String is : " thought" And End String is " " Here is the Jinja template: https://pastebin.com/MGmD8UiC Tested and working with the 26B and 31B versions. submitted by /u/Adventurous-Paper566 [link] [comments]
AI companions can comfort lonely users but may deepen distress over time
AI companions are always available, never judge, never tire and never demand anything in return. If someone is struggling with loneliness, this frictionlessness can seem profoundly appealing. However, new research shows that in the long term, seeking emotional support from an AI companion can pull users away from important human relationships.

New Rowhammer attack can grant kernel-level control on Nvidia workstation GPUs
A study from researchers at UNC Chapel Hill and Georgia Tech shows that GDDR6-based Rowhammer attacks can grant kernel-level access to Linux systems equipped with GPUs based on Nvidia's Ampere and Ada Lovelace architectures. The vulnerability appears significantly more severe than what was outlined in a paper last year. Read Entire Article
[D] ICML Reviewer Acknowledgement
Hi, I'm a little confused about ICML discussion period Does the period for reviewer acknowledging responses have already ended? One of the four reviewers did not present any answer to a paper of mine. Do you know if the reviewer can still change their score before April 7th? There is a reviewer comment that I will answer on Monday. Will the reviewer be able to update the score after seeing my answer? Thanks! submitted by /u/Massive_Horror9038 [link] [comments]
Considerations for growing the pie
Recently some friends and I were comparing growing the pie interventions to an increasing our friends' share of the pie intervention, and at first we mostly missed some general considerations against the latter type. 1. Decision-theoretic considerations The world is full of people with different values working towards their own ends; each of them can choose to use their resources to increase the total size of the pie or to increase their share of the pie. All of them would significantly prefer a world in which resources were used to increase the size of the pie, and this leads to a number [of] compelling justifications for each individual to cooperate. . . . by increasing the size of the pie we create a world which is better for people on average, and from behind the veil of ignorance we s
