contents Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) deliver remarkable image and video generation quality but incur high computational cost, limiting scalability and on-device deployment. We introduce CoReDiT, a structured token pruning framework for DiTs across vision tasks. CoReDiT uses a linear-time spatial coherence score to estimate local redundancy in the latent token lattice and skips high coherence (redundant) tokens in self-attention. To maintain a dense representation and avoid visual discontinuities, we reconstruct skipped attention outputs via coherence-guided aggregation of spatially neighboring retained tokens. We further introduce a progressive, block-adaptive pruning schedule that increases pruning gradually and allocates larger budgets to blocks and denoising steps with higher redundancy. Across state-of-the-art diffusion backbones including PixArt-α and MagicDrive-V2, CoReDiT achieves up to 55% self-attention FLOPs reduction and inference speedups of 1.33x on cloud GPUs and 1.72x on mobile NPUs, while maintaining high visual quality. Notably, CoReDiT also increases on-device memory head-room, enabling higher-resolution generation.
