Blocks 20–34 use a cubic smoothstep curve to transition seamlessly into Ref2VA (blocks 35–49) for deep reference tracking and character consistency.</li><li>Dual Distillation Baked In: Merged with 0.85 × DMAD (full-critic high-frequency detail) + 0.333 × PDMD v6 (projected 4-NFE flow distillation). Zero LoRA setup required.</li><li>Pruned INT8 ConvRot: Rank-8 curve AdaLN pruning + regular Hadamard outlier rotation. Lossless visual fidelity at under 19 GB.</li></ul>👑 Credits<ul><li>MiniMax AI &amp; Comfy-Org: MiniMax-H3 base weights.</li><li>DMAD: Zhengming Yu et al.
