What they did and found
A small change to a common training setup reduced how much the model’s own judge (the critic) got confused. It kept video output stable and more natural at four evaluation steps, and beat fast setups that used the same approach.
Why it matters
This helps teams make faster videos with clearer visuals and crisper sound without extra computing power, though the best results still need longer processing.
The change fixes a common problem: when the model learns from its own feedback, the judge can lag. The fix keeps useful signals and cuts misleading hints.
In tests on two large video tasks, the updated method produced crisper clips and better sound. It still isn’t better than slower training with more steps in every case.

What remains uncertain
Evidence mainly covers two- and four-step generation on specific models; results for single-step (one check) are less certain.
