Abstract

Distribution Matching Distillation (DMD) trains a few-step student from the difference between separately estimated target and student scores, so it must keep an auxiliary diffusion model fitted to the student's evolving distribution at extra memory and computation cost. We introduce DMAD, Distribution Matching as Adversarial Distillation, which recasts distribution matching as classification and learns the required log-density ratios directly. Two discriminator heads on a shared backbone distinguish real data and teacher samples from the student's, and linear losses on their logits train the student without auxiliary score fitting. We prove that at the discriminator optimum these losses recover the distribution-matching gradient underlying DMD, through the classical identity linking discriminator logits to log-density ratios. We further introduce gap-based reweighting, which adapts teacher supervision across noise levels from the real-data head's empirical logit gap between real and teacher samples. DMAD reaches a Fréchet Inception Distance (FID) of 1.04 with one-step generation on ImageNet-64x64, 14.47 with four-step SDXL on COCO-10K, and a VBench total score of 85.15 with four-step Wan2.1-T2V-14B, the best values among the compared few-step methods and the multi-step teachers. On MiniMax-H3-33B, our four-step student achieves overall human preference rates of 79.1% over DMD2 and 84.6% over rCM for joint audio-video generation, excluding ties.
